JERLUN: Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir (pic) has defended the purchase of a new Volvo S90 as his official car, saying that the car was purchased at a cheaper price after trading in two older cars, reported Sinar Harian.

"After checks were made, it was found that several older cars registered under the Mentri Besar's office could not be used because they were faulty, so I made the decision to trade them in to purchase the new car," he said.
