BANGKOK: A Thai court on Wednesday (Jan 18) ordered that wanted Malaysian businessman Tedy Teow Wooi Huat be extradited to China to face charges in connection with fraud, though Malaysia too had filed an extradition request.

The court said Teow, MBI Group's founder, can file an appeal within 30 days.
