Malaysia PM Anwar Says Not Opposed to Fugitive Financier Jho Low's Pardon Bid Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has stated that his government will not oppose fugitive financier Jho Low's bid for pardon from US President Donald Trump.
This move appears surprising, given the magnitude of the 1MDB corruption scandal and the role Low played in it. Anwar's stance may be driven by pragmatism rather than principle.
By not opposing the pardon bid, Malaysia essentially surrenders its leverage to bring Low back to face justice, raising questions about the country's commitment to accountability and transparency in the ongoing 1MDB saga.
