Najib shocked? I'm shocked at his reaction, says Dr M


PUTRAJAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad (pic, centre) says he is shocked at Datuk Seri Najib Razak's reaction after the former premier was ordered by the High Court to enter his defence for seven charges in the SRC International trial.

"I am shocked that he is shocked. We follow the rule of law. He has a case to answer and the case took months. That is how we run the government. Not like them (Barisan Nasional), arresting Datuk Seri Khairuddin Abu Hassan and his lawyer Matthias Chang for no reason," said Dr Mahathir.
