KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad
today suggested a well known opposition supremo Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s involvement in the issuance
of identity cards to illegal immigrants in Sabah but he admitted having
no proof to back his claim.
The former prime minister (picture) alleged that the so-called “Project IC” might have happened without any knowledge and orders from the top.
- “Anwar had a hand, but in the IC project, what happens on the ground isn’t always what the directives are all about,” Dr Mahathir told reporters here.
- “What they do on the ground is sometimes different from the instructions that are given.”
- He insisted that he has only now heard about the “wrongful things” being done on the ground in Sabah.
- “Yes, it’s his own initiative,” replied Dr Mahathir when asked whether the exercise was on Anwar’s own initiative.
Dr Mahathir had earlier joked that his former deputy prime minister
can sometimes be too keen for his own good, when asked whether he had
asked Anwar to handle the Project IC.“He normally takes the initiative himself, I don’t have to tell him. He took more initiative than I would like him to,” Dr Mahathir said.
He however admitted that he has no evidence admissible in court to back his allegations regarding Anwar.
