Former Malaysian premier Mahathir Mohammad’s two eldest sons believe that their 98-year-old father is the real target of Malaysia’s ongoing corruption probe.
Mirzan Mahathir, 65, and Mokhzani Mahathir, 63, are currently assisting in investigations by the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) which started in January this year.
The sons told Bloomberg in an interview on March 23 that they had been ordered to declare their assets dating back to 1981, the year their father became premier.
In the interview held at Kuala Lumpur, Mokhzani said: “My father is the primary suspect. We are witnesses to whatever it is that they are investigating.”
The MACC has not provided the brothers with any details of the investigation into Dr Mahathir, said Mokhzani.
“We did ask, ‘What is the investigation on my father about?’ and they were not able to furnish us with that information,” he added.
“Can you imagine you are being asked to provide information to be used to prosecute your parent?”
