Watch out! Dr M timepieces a hoax

Too good to be true: The brochure advertising luxury watches supposedly signed by Dr Mahathir.

PETALING JAYA: Dozens of people ordered luxury watches engraved with the signature of Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and parted with their money, not realising that there was no such product.

However, the plan to relieve people of tens of thousands of ringgit was ordered to be halted immediately after Dr Mahathir himself was alerted, said the Prime Minister’s Office.
