Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is being investigated for defamation, the country’s top cop said today.
According to a report by the New Straits Times, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said police have started a probe on the former prime minister, who has become Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s strongest critic.
“We have begun investigation a few days ago. If there is a case we will refer it to the Attorney-General,” the NST quoted Khalid as saying.
The report also said that several police reports have been made over Dr Mahathir’s recent blog post.
