Jho Low loved to ‘name-drop’, says witness


KUALA LUMPUR: Fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho often “name-dropped” famous and powerful personalities, including Queen Rania of Jordan, during meetings, a former bank employee testified before the High Court.

Joanna Yu, formerly an AmBank relationship manager for Datuk Seri Najib Razak, said that Low, better known as Jho Low, would not directly name-drop to her, but he would mention the names while talking to other people in meetings, such as former 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) CEO Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi.
