It was earlier reported that an unnamed CEO of a Malaysian telecommunications company was arrested in Dubai due to drug possession. In a statement to TheEdgeMarkets, Jason Lo had denied such rumours and added that he was trying to break up a fight which involved his friend. The IGP had also confirmed that Jason Lo was detained in Dubai to assist investigations into a fighting case but it was not because of drugs.
