'Kissing the hand of a thief': Dr M baffled how people are influenced by person facing trial for stealing

PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is baffled at how people can be influenced by a person who is facing a trial for cheating and stealing money.

In a reference believed to be of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, Dr Mahathir said people have resorted to "kissing the hand of a thief" as the Pakatan Harapan government did not know how to tell its "stories" well.
