Take me to court if I am wrong, Dr M says on Batu Puteh issue


KUALA LUMPUR: Take me to court if I am wrong in the Pulau Batu Puteh issue, says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

The 100-year-old, who braved the crowd and rainy weather, to speak at the Turun Anwar rally here on Saturday (July 26) said that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim should not be acting like a judge.

“This country has courts, judges and public prosecutors. But Anwar did not use these,” he said.

“You are not a judge, you are a prime minister. You cannot decide who is guilty. Only the judges can determine whether I am wrong or not,” he said.

Dr Mahathir said he is not afraid to fight it out in court and does not need immunity.

On Tuesday (July 22), Anwar, in Parliament, had said that although an inquiry had found Dr Mahathir likely responsible for the loss of Batu Puteh to Singapore, no legal action was initiated due to his age.
