Countering Anwar, Dr Mahathir says harder to probe a PM’s wrongdoing rather than a ‘Tun’
PUTRAJAYA, Jan 22 — Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today has hit back at Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, denying that it is much harder to mount an investigation against someone with a “Tun” title rather than a prime minister.
Dr Mahathir said this is because a prime minister holds the authority of the federal government, and added that he is prepared to be investigated as he has nothing to hide.
“I want to refer to today’s news report saying that it is not easy to investigate a Tun. I disagree. The government has the power. I don’t anymore. I am easy to investigate.
“It is the prime minister that’s hard to investigate. Him, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), and the high-ranking officers in the government,” he told a press conference here.
Malaysiakini reported Anwar saying on Saturday that the public must back the authorities’ investigation into an individual with a “Tun” title — but did not name that person.
Last week, the MACC quizzed former finance minister Tun Daim Zainuddin’s wife Toh Puan Naimah Khalid and their two sons on assets belonging to the family as part of its probe.
It had also directed businessman Mirzan — the son of Dr Mahathir — to declare his assets.
