Dr M: 1MDB the final straw that made me to lose faith in Najib

Speaking to reporters after his speech at "My most dangerous idea: A conversation with Tun Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad" at the 2015 Cooler Lumpur Festival in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday, Dr Mahathir said that while there were many things the Prime Minister did that he disagreed with, 1MDB was inexcusable as it concerned vast amounts of money.
