Following Jho Low’s case of the alleged purchase of jewelry for Supermodel Miranda Kerr and our MO1’s wife, he apparently ‘donated’ at least $200 million (RM860 million) to charities, many of which have ties to celebrities he swooned over.

While the two celebs who were gifted diamond and art are returning their ill-gotten loot, charities are keeping the money!

After several years without singer cheap pandora charms Ed Kowalczyk, Live are back to being the four-piece that recorded most of their major hits and the timing couldn’t be better. That’s because the band’s debut album, Mental Jewelry, has turned 25 and the group is readying a special 25th anniversary reissue that will arrive on Aug. 11. The updated edition comes with new liner notes from Kowalczyk reflecting about the band’s beginnings dating back to their monthly gigs at the legendary CBGB before they were signed to Radioactive Records. You’ll also find the original tracks newly remastered and there are a couple of bonus cuts. There’s the unreleased studio track “Born Branded,” a club remix of “Pain Lies on the Riverside” done by Public Enemy producer Hank Shocklee and two songs — “Negation” and “Heaven Wore a Shirt” — from their 1991 Four Songs EP. But the biggest addition to the reissue is a previously unreleased 1992 concert at the Roxy in Los Angeles. Kowalczyk says in a statement, “It’s really cool that we have this unreleased material from virtually all of the Live studio albums and that the limitations of the various media that we experienced early in our career have vanished with the digital/online revolution. Fans can look forward to more!” “Jerry Harrison deserves a lot of credit for getting so many early songs recorded,” explains Chad Taylor. “Radioactive [Records] gave the band a budget for 12 masters but Jerry, a veteran recording artist sent a lo-fi demo that included 14 or 15 tracks to the label. He suggested that the label pick the 12 songs that would make the album. Since the album was initially released on vinyl, we were limited by the media format and over time, we simply forgot about the extra songs. Thankfully, this new release really captures the spirit of that era!” When asked if he had any advice for the band’s younger selves after hearing the Roxy show, Kowalczyk stated, “I really don’t have any advice for Live circa 1992. Actually, it’s the reverse in a way; the experience of rediscovering the Roxy show recording is a window through which the sun of that youthful energy has shown on us again, helping to remind us of where we’ve been but more importantly, to inspire the way forward.” Taylor adds, “I’m not sure the younger version of myself would listen to any advice I could offer, but I would be sure to tell myself to enjoy the ride, and to take care of each other.” Fans can look for the reissue on colored vinyl, standard vinyl, cassette and as a two-CD set. Pre-orders are being taken at this location and you’ll get the live version of “Pain Lies on the Riverside” from the Roxy Show as an instant grat track.

Tony Pua, a Malaysian member of the parliament told The Post,

“I don’t know what the charities’ ethical practice should be.

“The monies can’t be returned to the Malaysian government because the government is comprised of people complicit in laundering the money in the first place. The charities should set up a separate trust fund serving a cause benefiting Malaysians, or return the money to Malaysia if the current government is deposed.”

Apparently, Grammy award winning songbird Alicia Keys also received money from Low for the charity she co-founded, Keep a Child Alive, to fight AIDS in Africa and We Are Here Movement. However, Alicia Keys did not return any calls.
