Police free to investigate ex-PM, says Bung Moktar


KUALA LUMPUR: The police are free to investigate Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad if they deem his statements on 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) and the murder of Mongolian model Altantuya Shaariibuu are seditious, says Umno backbencher and Kinabatangan MP Datuk Bung Moktar Radin.

He said the former prime minister was merely exercising his right as a citizen of a democratic country.
