JOHOR BARU, May 17 ─ Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is not worried that he has been named as one of the six under probe for a conspiracy to manipulate the appointment of judges.
Dr Mahathir cynically said he welcomed the investigation by the police and hoped the case would not be dropped eventually.
"I hope I will be charged in a court of law so that I would have the opportunity to defend myself and expose whatever things I need to say.
"But if the investigation eventually shows that there is no case against me, then ‘susah la’ (it is difficult). I ask that there will be a case against me. I do not want to be released later as others will talk behind my back that I was lobbying for my own release," he said during a Q&A session at a post-election Umno forum organised by Badan-badan Bertindak Gabungan Ahli-ahli Umno Akar Umbi Johor in Johor Baru today.
