KUALA LUMPUR: Bukit Aman will work with Interpol, Aseanapol as well as the authorities in Myanmar to investigate the alleged whereabouts of fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said Bukit Aman will release information as and when it becomes available.
"We will share what we know with the authorities in Myanmar and are seeking the same from them.
"We will also seek the assistance of Interpol and Aseanapol to (determine) the whereabouts of Jho Low," he told reporters after attending a graduation ceremony at the Police Training Centre (Pulapol) here on Friday (Nov 22).

However, for now, neither Bukit Aman nor the authorities in Myanmar have any information on Jho Low's whereabouts, he added.
"We will assist each other," he added, commenting on lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah's claim that Jho Low was hiding in Myanmar under the protection of its generals.
Shafee, defence counsel for former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, said word of Jho Low's whereabouts initially pointed to Dubai, China or Macau.
However, during Najib's 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) trial, Shafee said the testimony of key prosecution witness Jasmine Loo, the former 1MDB general counsel. pointed to Myanmar.
"From (what she said when) I grilled Loo, I think he is in Myanmar, protected by the generals," he said during a session with the media and public on 1MDB and other cases here on Tuesday (Nov 19).
Shafee said that according to Loo's testimony, Low had arranged a fake Myanmar passport for her to also enter the strife-torn country.
He had been asked at the session about Jho Low's whereabouts and why it was difficult to find him.
