Dr M: Audit all Tuns


PTRAJAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has no problems with an in-depth probe into the alleged RM100bil in losses due to financial scandals during his 22-year tenure as prime minister.

“You can audit. In fact, all Tuns must be audited, from the Tuns, to the Tuns' children and the Tuns' grandchildren,” he told reporters here on Wednesday after meeting members of the Malaysian council of former elected representatives (Mubarak).

He said this in response to a recent blog posting by DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang, who demanded a full audit into billions of ringgit in alleged losses due to financial scandals during Dr Mahathir's premiership.

On another matter, Dr Mahathir said PAS should appoint a non-Muslim as deputy president right now if they were indeed ready to do so.

He slammed the Islamist party of being two-faced, saying Umno suffered being called kafir' or non-believers for working with non-Muslims.

“What is wrong with working with non-Muslims? After all, they are also Malaysians,” he said.
