SEPANG: Businessman Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low, is believed to be using this same name on the Saint Kitts and Nevis passport which he possesses, said Immigration director-general Mustafar Ali.
“We find that he is still using the same name (Low Taek Jho) on the passport,” he said, adding that it was an offence for a Malaysian citizen to carry two passports.

“We don’t practise dual citizenship. Every citizen must have one nationality and one Malaysian passport,” he told reporters today.He said the Immigration Department continued to cooperate with counterparts throughout the world, besides the police, Interpol and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), in tracking down Jho Low.

Jho Low’s passport was cancelled by the Immigration Department on June 15 at the request of MACC.
