Malaysiakini : Is the government’s crackdown against alleged corruption involving previous leaders making Dr Mahathir Mohamad restless, wondered Penang Deputy Chief Minister II P Ramasamy.

According to the DAP leader, there is a lingering fear among “recipients of ill-begotten wealth” that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim might cast his net wider. “In this respect, Anwar might even be contemplating going after earlier leaders who had a hand in robbing the country of billions.

“Mahathir who is often accused of assisting his cronies and relatives might have reason to be concerned,” he added in a media statement this afternoon.   He claimed this could be the impetus behind the former premier’s plan to hold the “Malay people’s proclamation” gathering with the aim of “destabilising the government”.

Without providing evidence, Mahathir pointed the finger at the prime minister, accusing him of stifling dissent against his administration. When Pakatan Harapan buried the hatchet and collaborated with Mahathir to oust BN in the 2018 general election, DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang had denied accusing the nonagenarian, who became prime minister for a second time then, of corruption.
