Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad stated that he campaigned for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in the 14th General Election, but now he is facing an investigation. He mentioned, “When he was contesting, I actually campaigned for him, and so did Tun Daim Zainuddin.” Both of us campaigned for him, and now he wants to investigate me for wrongdoings,” he told a press conference at the Perdana Leadership Foundation on Monday (Jan 22). This statement sheds light on the political dynamics at play.
Dr Mahathir also rejected the notion that it is hard for authorities to investigate those with the “Tun” title, adding that he was prepared to be investigated. He emphasized, “I am easy. You can investigate me anytime. You have the power. You can probe me.” This demonstrates his willingness to cooperate with authorities and abide by the legal process. However, it also raises questions about the motives behind the investigation.
