Police are currently questioning former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad at his office in Putrajaya.
Lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla confirmed that Mahathir was being questioned by police at his office at the Perdana Leadership Foundation.
“It’s still ongoing. My team are there in the session. I was having a trial so I am on my way there now,” Mohamed Haniff told The Star Online.
As he was not yet present at the session, he could not share what exactly Mahathir was being questioned about.
This is the second time this month that the former premier has been questioned by the authorities.
Earlier in June, Mahathir was questioned at Yayasan Albukhary over his statement that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and Malay Rulers had been “placed under house arrest”.
