VERY DESPERATE: Arul seizes on language 'ambiguity' to wriggle out of 'no Jho Low links in 1MDB'

VERY DESPERATE: Arul seizes on language 'ambiguity' to wriggle out of 'no Jho Low links in 1MDB'
The Malaysian Insider wrote an article on February 16, 2015, with the headline "1MDB director Ong is business partner of Jho Low’s father". In the article, it was stated among other claims that “in an interview with Mingguan Malaysia on Sunday, 1MDB president, Arul Kanda Kandasamy insisted that Jho Low had no involvement in 1MDB, and neither are any friends of Jho or the Low family involved with 1MDB.”
Implicit in The Malaysian Insider article was the suggestion that I lied about knowledge of a relationship between Tan Sri Larry Low and Tan Sri Ong Gim Huat (a director of state investment vehicle 1Malaysia Development Bhd, or 1MDB).
This implication is clear, both in your article and from the various adverse comments that have been directed at me on the comments section of The Malaysian Insider website below the article.
I did not at any time say "or the Low Family" as alleged by The Malaysian Insider. In fact, The Malaysian Insider has not even correctly translated my quote as published in Mingguan Malaysia.
The actual quote is "Malah, dakwaan yang mengatakan ayahnya atau kawannya menjadi pengarah di 1MDB juga tidak tepat". Translated, this means "In fact, the claim that his father or his friends are directors at 1MDB is not accurate". The "his" referred twice in the sentence refers to Jho Low and not to his father – a fact that The Malaysian Insider has chosen to ignore in its article, despite my communications team clarifying this matter yesterday.
I would be grateful if The Malaysian Insider could publish the above statement in its entirety, to correct an obvious error and in the interests of transparency. – TMI
