Former Malaysian leader Mahathir Mohamad has spoken out against a graft probe involving his associates, labeling it as politically motivated. This statement comes a week after his eldest son was instructed to provide information to investigators. Mahathir, a prominent figure in Malaysian politics for many years, accused Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s government of using corruption charges to target political opponents. The controversy surrounding Mahathir’s associates arose when his son Mirzan and tycoon Daim Zainuddin were discovered to have millions stashed offshore in the Pandora Papers. Interestingly, last year, prosecutors unexpectedly dropped 47 graft charges against Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi when the trial was already well underway. The involvement of high-profile individuals and the allegations of politically motivated corruption charges have stirred debate in the public, making it a hot topic worth following for those interested in Malaysian politics.
