He added that immediate action must be taken to drag Low, better known as Jho Low, to face justice.

“Some people ask me why Jho Low has not been arrested since information has been gathered.

“I say, let’s delay a little. But there are some who don’t want to wait. They hope stern action can be taken not today, but ‘yesterday’.

“I did not say that I want to give priority to regulations and the law, but in cases that are clear, stern action must be taken immediately according to the Penal Code or laws on corruption,” he said when addressing the monthly assembly of ministry staff here.

He added that scandals on corruption like 1MDB which were reported to the police and other enforcement agencies could not be ignored, and that action must be taken immediately.
