KUALA LUMPUR: They used to be good friends, even going for holidays abroad together, but things turned ugly for Jasmine Loo as she claimed to have been threatened by Low Taek Jho during her isolation in Bangkok, the High Court has heard.

The former 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) general counsel also told the High Court that she had yet to lodge a police report over the threats from the fugitive businessman. Better known as Jho Low, the man is central to the 1MDB scandal.
