Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad wants the mastermind behind the sex video implicating Economic Affairs Minister Azmin Ali to be punished.
"If we can find them and identify those who actually produced this particular video and show it on the net, I think they should be punished.
"This is not the kind of politics that we want," he told reporters in Kuala Lumpur this afternoon.
Asked if he knew the identity of the mastermind, whom the police described as the leader of a political party, the premier replied: "I am not the investigator."
Mahathir also denied that he was defending Azmin when dismissing the sex video as fake even before the authorities completed their investigations.
"I am not defending him (Azmin)," he said, adding that his previous remarks were aimed at rejecting gutter politics.
Mahathir explained that his statements were to emphasise that he would not be trapped into being part of such political tactics.
Ironically, PKR president Anwar Ibrahim had accused Mahathir, during his first tenure as prime minister, of fabricating a sodomy charge to remove him as deputy premier in 1998.
