This is possibly the most romantic dinner in the world that i have ever come across. This dinner was hosted by a 29 year old Malaysian young man called Low Taek Jho (or more commonly known as Jho Low). It was said to be a dinner for a wedding proposal to Taiwanese singer, Elva Hsiao (萧亚轩), aged 33. You must watch the video to feel it. Looking at some pictures are just not good enough. It is only a 5 minute video. You wont regret watching it.
The dinner was held at a private beach of Atlantis Hotel, Dubai. You can see that the dinner was exclusive, only both of them were at the dinner.
Elva is a well known female artist in Taiwan releasing quite a few hit songs in Taiwan over the years. Whether there was a marriage proposal or not, she must have felt lucky to be treated with a 1 million British pound or RM5 million dinner by Jho Low. Just one dinner, k. Not a diamond that can last forever.

Mr Low is the youngest son of Datuk Larry Low, a former shareholder and director of MWE Holdings Bhd, which currently has a market capitalisation of RM400 million. Jho Low is made a popular household name in Malaysia by the Star newspapers in 2010. The newspapers featured him on front page and run exclusive articles on him. Not an opportunity that an average 28 year old Malaysian man could usually get. In the articles, no opinions or comments of his friends, relatives or school mates were published. The Star summed up Jho Low's success formula as 'Right time, Right place, Right people'. His formula is in marked contrast to the richest people in this world like Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Warren Buffets, world's greatest fund manager and investor, talked about hard work and being thrifty. Bill Gates created personal computers for almost every households. Steve Jobs made the very user-friendly iPod, probably the most intuitively fun to use iPhone and iPad. Each of them has many years of strong and proven track record in providing goods and services. Of course, they made plenty of money in between.
'Right time, Right place, Right people' formula sounds more suited for connection business? This formula may be required in instance where the bidder of contract may not qualify for the tender criteria. It was reported that George Kent, a listed company with current market capitalisation of RM230 million, was leading a consortium and awarded RM1 billion contract to extend Ampang LRT. George Kent was the highest price bidder, and not the lowest, of the tender. Owner of George Kent is mentioned to be the golf buddy of the Malaysian Prime Minister. Recently, it is reported that two companies that failed the tender criteria were awarded with the largest government quotas to supply paddy seeds to Malaysian farmers. The Agriculture Minister, Noh Omar, who approved the tender awards insisted that the criteria were met, despite it was Ministry of Finance which highlighted the discrepancy in tender criteria fulfilment.
Jho Low is apparently very close to wealthy personalities in Middle East and manage their money. He has created a few billion US dollar funds since he was 20 years old. As a money manager, Jho is definitely very successful. His stature should be quite close to Warren Buffet. It is a matter of time that international publishers will seek to write books about Jho Low.
Logically speaking, if I am an investor of Jho Low' funds, I am probably worried about my money left with him, when I see the way he spends his money. I give him benefits of doubt that the money spent was all his. He must be a billionaire and earns a very good income. Notwithstanding, I will be curious whether he is making enough money for the funds or if he is making more money for himself. I should be scrutinizing very closely the capital invested and income generated by the fund where my money is. It is intriguing for him to tell the Star that his Arab friends where the ones who spent the money in those parties. I stand to be corrected but I neither see any ethnic Arabian in his dinner with Elva, nor any mention of Arabian names in many of the news with regards to his parties with Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan.
Jho Low is a director and group adviser of UBG Bhd, a listed company reported to be owned by family of Sarawak chief minister, Abdul Taib Mahmud. He is also rumored to be in control of 1 Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB), a government entity, that was established to drive strategic initiatives for long-term economic development for the country by forging global partnerships and promoting foreign direct investment. 1MDB raised RM5 billion under a guarantee of Malaysian federal government in 2009.
Hypothetically, as long as Jho Low is spending his own money, his investors should be happy. If he spends his investors' money indirectly by diverting some return from his investors' fund, his investors may not be too happy. If he is spending directly or indirectly some other people's money which may or may not be related to government money, he may cause many people to be unhappy in Malaysia. Jho Low is enjoying high profile and flamboyant lifestyle. He has to make extremely good income by ordinary Malaysian standards. After all, this is a country where 80% of the households are making less than RM3,000 per month income.
Come to think of it. Malaysian Prime Minister, Najib Razak should not be somewhat selfish and keep Jho Low's roles to only 1MDB and development of Razak Exchange in Sungai Besi, Kuala Lumpur that was previously military base of the country. Razak Exchange is named after the Prime Minister's father and is Najib's pet project. Instead, he should make sure that Jho Low manages all the important large funds for the people of Malaysia. This is where Jho Low's forte is. PNB is a good place for him to start with. He can help to uplift the income level of Malaysians who subscribe to the funds by increasing the return on investment of those funds. We cannot possibly be a developed country by 2020 when 80% of our households are still earning less than RM3,000 a month. Can we?
A few lovely picture of the romantic dinner at a private beach of Atlantis Hotel, Dubai.
The poor and needy would really appreciate some food and cloths
ReplyDeletehe is a sucker. shame on him
DeleteDid the lady accept the proposal?
ReplyDeleteNo. He was rejected. He further claimed it was just an ordinary dinner. A RM5 million ordinary dinner.
DeleteWhat can I say? Smart girl!

ReplyDeleteAbsolute stupidity
ReplyDeletescUMNOputra can spend all n anything. downright vulgar when so many Malaysians are living in poverty, something the dUMNO will never admit. BTW, when is the divorce?
ReplyDeletewhat a lame show-off
ReplyDeleteI am scared that this guy will be another disgrace Jefri Bolkiah (the younger brother to Sultan of Brunei) in a very short while, and then the whole of the Malaysian Public Fund he is managing will be all dust when he is leaving. Till then just keep your finger cross.
ReplyDeleteJust take a look at his connections with all the gomen projects then you should be able to deduct why he can spend so disgustingly obsene just like the Sarawak and Sabah CMs. who by the way he is connected also. I can bet my bottom dollar that he is the guy who brought in the gangnum guy in an effort to liven up the PM GE13 Penang tour.
ReplyDeleteNo lar..this guy is close with Daim the former finance minister...he used to run political funds for UMNO thats where he rally make money out of the commission to distribute the fund to party members and candidates especially...those companies are just fronting to cover up..where got people who really worked for their money will spend like that...Ask Rafizi to further investigate onto this guy...heard that the fundings are currently in Caymen Island and they are gonna distribute it before this coming UMNO election...by the way...those are not people's money / taxes money...those are contributor's money who now are successfull because of UMNO such as the penyamun Daim,Taib and etc..ive heard that they are having 7 biliion currently to distribute...
ReplyDeletepoor and needy would really appreciate shame on him
ReplyDeleteFrankly to me he is an idiot. Its just that he is a lucky guy born with a silver spoon and is using his father connection to swipe off the Malaysian through all the dubious deals.
ReplyDeleteSpending like this only mean one thing...from ill gotten money.
ReplyDeleteLook at his pig face and pig head, Elva will never accept him.
ReplyDeleteHe is a disgrace to the Chinese who are reputed for hard work n thrift. He throws Malaysian RM away so lavishly when so many Malaysians of all races are working very hard trying to get out of the vicious poverty cycle. YOU FIND MANY POOR MALAYS IN KAMPONGS, POOR INDIASN IN ESTATES, POOR CHINESE IN NEW VILLAGES AND POOR ORANG ASALS IN SEMENANJUNG, SABAH AND SARAWAK, if you care to observe. Who says Msia is a rich country.
ReplyDeleteNothing will last forever. God is fair.
ReplyDeleteSee how long can he last. Chinese saying 15 years only !
best ask him to go 10 rounds a night hopes he kicks the bucket the next morning
ReplyDeleteOne idiotic stupid numbskull Chinese that causes great disgrace to the whole linage of the hard working Chinese descendants. A great disgrace to his father for bringing up a rotten son who con the whole nation.
ReplyDeleteWhat so great buying dinner to a girl with monies stolen from the Rakyat.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a great disgrace to your family and parents for bringing you up with a usless education where a primary three student knows the act shouldn't be done.
Shame on you fat swine.
using stolen money from 1MDB, no feeling for him but his ego greatly bruised by the rejection from elva. what a pig!
DeleteHe's one of the greatest global networkers who ever was known as a Malaysian ! A man of vision A man of style Just unlucky in love is all it is; It's fair to say anyone with sense or common can see that (a) we all are jealous (b) we wish we could have done half of what he has done and made some money (c) we wouldn't do half of what he wished he didn't do.. if he ever wished it (d) what ever wrongs he is supposed to have done shouldn't be called a 'wrong' because we would do that same thing in a flash if we could, and we can't, so we better talk a bit longer about what we should think or should not say! What a guy, a great Malaysian! Good lucky Jho High, you shouldn't let any one call you Mr Low! You're a high guy. Everyone else is just being mean - leave him alone, he's a very successful partner to his other better half.
ReplyDeleteno, he is the greatest conman in collusion with mo1 via 1mdb. money terms in billions . this pig spends ill-gotten money without guilt lavishing on women he fancy but met with unrequited feelings. any guy will feel utterly embarrassed but not him
Deletethis fat guy is now most wanted laundry man in the world. will be in jail for a long long time when the DoJ catch him. what the heck whose money is used for the elaborate show ??
ReplyDeleteEventually, all money goes back to MO1 minus a couple of millions for court cost. That fatso ( with a hooded head ) may go to Pudu jail for a couple of days. I know, you don't know but Bajinda also knew all along Mo1 is never found to be guilty. Pudu jail does not exist, I also know now.
