The news reports published about the seizure of luxury yacht Equanimity owned by Penang-born businessperson Low Taek Jho (Jho Low) are examples of "fake news", said Multimedia and Communication Minister Salleh Said Keruak today.
In a statement, the Umno lawmaker said the opposition have relied on "unverified, unproven" allegations about the vessel, alleging it is owned by Jho Low, and that it was purchased using 1MDB funds, when in reality, the source of the claims are contained in the US Department of Justice's (DOJ) civil lawsuit seeking to recover funds allegedly siphoned from 1MDB, which has been put on hold since August last year.
