KOTA KINABALU: Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad took the stand at the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Sabah’s illegal immigrants to deny that he had ever given the order to anyone or set up any task force for foreigners to be issued with Malaysian identity cards.

Wearing a grey suit over a purple shirt and red tie, Dr Mahathir told the commission that the issuance of ICs to unqualified foreigners in Sabah could have been due to the “wrongdoing of certain government officers”.
