HISHAMMUDDIN Hussein says he is determined to hunt down wanted businessman Low Taek Jho as he wants closure on 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).

The former defence minister said he is already in contact with his connections in China and would pay for the expenses of finding Low out of his own pocket.

“If we want to move forward, there must be some closure about 1MDB. If everybody agrees that Jho Low is critical to find a solution and closure for this 1MDB issue, I will help,” Hishamuddin told reporters when met at the Parliament lobby today, referring to Low with his monicker.

“This is a personal issue. It is all on my own expense. I will cooperate with the inspector-general of police who has made an earlier statement that he will welcome any efforts I can contribute,” he said.

Last week, Hishammuddin said he offered to tap Beijing connections made during his years as defence minister to help find Low.

The former Umno vice-president said he had forged close connections with several Chinese leaders during his time as a cabinet member, and stressed that his offer was purely for the sake of seeking truth and justice. – October 30, 2018.
