His co-accused, 50-year-old Indonesian woman Komariah, was supposed to plead guilty on Friday but it did not go through after she claimed she did not know Low was married until the investigations.
The court heard that Low married his wife, a Singaporean woman now aged 55, in 1992.
The marriage remains in force and they have a daughter.
