PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad (pic) wants Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to back up his claim that "one of Mahathir's people" had collected RM10mil in cash from the former premier for the 13th General Election.
"Show evidence, ask him to show evidence," Dr Mahathir said after speaking at the American Chamber of Commerce Malaysia's annual general meeting luncheon in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday (June 28), reported Malaysiakini.
In a special interview with the news portal on Wednesday (June 27), the former premier described the person, who is a well-known swimmer, as one of Dr Mahathir's trusted aides.
According to Najib, the money was collected from his residence in Jalan Duta back in 2013.
Malaysiakini reported that Najib revealed the name of the aide during the interview, but was withholding the identity of the person concerned pending a response.
