With his trademark sarcasm, former premier Dr Mahathir Mohmad called on businessman Jho Low to return to Malaysia.

He claimed Low had nothing to fear because atttorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali would ensure he is not arrested.

“You (Low) shouldn't be scared, with the attorney-general around, you won't be arrested.

"But if you were to come here, we will hammer," he told a Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) ceramah in Kuala Lumpur last night.
