"A lie and a fairy tale", that is how Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador described a recent claim that fugitive businessperson Jho Low is in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Slamming the report, he said it was not a logical claim and that it was impossible for such a known person to be wanted in so many countries and be involved in a notorious crime to easily enter the UAE.

The UAE has a strict security system including controls at the airport, in addition to well-established cooperation with the Royal Malaysia Police.
