KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 26 (Bernama) — Malaysia\u2019s Foreign Ministry (Wisma Putra) is ready to assist in bringing back Low Teak Jho or Jho Low to this country if his location has been identified, said its minister Hishammuddin Hussein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hishammuddin said there was no reason for the ministry not to do so if it was informed on the location of the fugitive businessman by the police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until now, he said Jho Low\u2019s whereabouts could not be ascertained including the possibility that is in China, as claimed by RSN Rayer (PH-Jelutong Member of Parliament) when interjecting his winding-up speech of the Supply Bill 2021 at the Dewan Rakyat (Malaysian Parliament) Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFirstly, we don\u2019t know whether or not he is in China. Secondly, if the police have informed Wisma Putra of his exact location, there is no reason why Wisma Putra cannot assist in bringing him back to be brought to justice,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Responding to a question from Khoo Poay Tiong (PH-Kota Melaka MP) on allegations that Malaysian students were not allowed to return to their campuses in China even though the learning session has started, Hishammuddin said the issue would be discussed with the Higher Education Ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOn our part, we will continue to communicate and discuss with China on matters pertaining to these students,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, on Rohingya refugees and UNHCR cardholders in the country, Hishammuddin reiterated that efforts to repatriate or relocate them to a third country remained Wisma Putra\u2019s top priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe will continue to give priority through the ASEAN platform so that Myanmar will implement the suggestions together with UNHCR because previously, we accepted these refugees on UNHCR\u2019s guarantee that they will be relocated to third countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe will use various platforms such as bilateral with Bangladesh and Myanmar, regional with ASEAN, multilateral with the United Nations and country’s of the same stand with us like Indonesia to find the solution to Rohingya issues,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Touching on COVID-19 issue, Hishammuddin expressed his appreciation to the Foreign Ministry\u2019s staff and all frontliners who have worked hard to free the country from the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said during the peak of the pandemic, the Foreign Ministry managed to bring back 26,870 Malaysians to this country as a result of efforts and hard work of about 300 frontliners at the Wisma Putra and Malaysian representatives around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
