JHO LOW VERY HAPPY HIS ‘MACAI’ BANKER ROGER NG NOW IN U.S. – ‘RESCUED FROM MALAYSIA’S INHUMANE PRISON CONDITIONS’: BUT NAJIB’S CHIEF 1MDB CO-CONSPIRATOR SHOULDN’T COUNT HIS CHICKENS YET – U.S. MIGHT WELL SEND ROGER BACK TO KL TO FACE TRIAL, TESTIFY AGAINST HIS FORMER COMMANDERS

STATEMENT REGARDING EXTRADITION OF ROGER NG TO THE US

A spokesperson for Mr. Low, through his attorneys, issued the following statement:

“It’s troubling that the Malaysian regime is attempting to tout its cooperation and relationship with the U.S. when it shares no common ground on basic human and legal rights and when it is led by a self-proclaimed anti-Semite.

“While Malaysia agreed to the transfer when Mr. Ng first waived extradition in February, the regime’s leaders then back-tracked and invented the concept of a ‘fast track trial’.

“Unsurprisingly this failed when the politically motivated Government focused all its efforts persecuting its predecessors with show trials and abusive use of arrest warrants. It is good that Mr. Ng has been rescued from Malaysia’s inhumane prison conditions and a process controlled by a leader with a history of abusing the judicial system to destroy political opponents.”
