KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 6): Dear Jho Low, we refer to the interview you gave to The Straits Times (ST) of Singapore and would like to ask you the following:

1. If you are innocent, why did you give up US$1.0 billion worth of assets to settle with the US Department of Justice (DoJ)? We are not talking about US$10 million or even US$100 million. This is US$1.0 billion! Who in his right mind would give this up if he is innocent? And didn't you tell your favourite newspaper ST that in the US "the rule of law is respected and where people are considered innocent until proven guilty"? So, if you are innocent, why don't you fight it out in a US court where you say justice can prevail?
