Mukhriz: Make Commission report public
KUALA LUMPUR: The Royal Commission report on the Lingam videoclip should be made public as the people deserved to know the findings, said Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir.
The Jerlun MP and Umno Youth exco member said it was necessary to be open because that what was people expected from the Government.
"I think it's the right of the people to understand what actually was in the report and I don't see any problem in making it public.
"The most important thing is transparency ... we should be open with the rakyat, particularly at this point in time," he told reporters on Sunday after attending the Umno 62nd anniversary celebrations at the Putra World Trade centre here.
To a question whether he had any reservations about the Lingam videoclip report being made public because the alleged wrong-doings occurred during his father's tenure as Prime Minister, Mukhriz said: "He (Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad) has got nothing to hide."
Mukhriz said Dr Mahathir had spoken about the matter many times and had testified as a witness during the Royal Commission of Inquiry.
He said the former Prime Minister had said that no matter who was lobbying for posts, that he was ultimately responsible for the decisions he made.
"So he is not going to run away from that. For 22 years he has been running the country. He's not going to deny anything," he added.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, when approached by reporters at the same Umno function, said he had not seen the Royal Commission's report yet.
He said that it was up to the Prime Minister if it should be made public.
"I do not know as I've not seen the report yet. The Prime Minister also wants to study the report first," he said.
