Dr M complains of staff ‘replacement’, arm-twisting of private firms



Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad today clarified that many of his long-time staff have been replaced by the federal government.
He said that among those who were recently replaced were his bodyguards, aides-de-camp and domestic helpers.
However, the Prime Minister’s Department today stressed that Putrajaya was still paying for 21 staff assigned to Mahathir, and that none of the former prime minister’s perks have been withdrawn.
The PMD said Mahathir enjoys the same perks accorded to all former prime ministers, in accordance with the Members of Parliament (Remuneration) Act 1980.
Previously, the police denied Mahathir’s claim that his bodyguards had been removed from duty.
However, Mahathir insisted that the federal government did remove some of his perks, or arm-twisted private companies into dissociating from him.
“I can list some of the things they have withdrawn. Some things which have nothing to do with the government have been withdrawn as well.
“I was the chancellor of a private university. The university was ordered to prevent me from being chancellor. Surely (this is the word) of the government,” he said.
Mahathir was axed as the advisor to Proton in 2011, and as the Petronas advisor in 2016.
Last year also saw Mahathir quitting Proton Holdings as chairperson, Universiti Teknologi Petronas as chancellor, as well as the Langkawi Development Authority and the Tioman Island Development Authority.- Mkini
