Dr M: Why didn’t my deputy stop Projek IC then?
When asked if he was talking about Anwar, Dr Mahathir only said 'Maybe'. — AFP picKUALA
LUMPUR, Sept 12 — Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad asked today why his former
“deputy” had not stopped “Projek IC” if it had been a government policy
during his reign, appearing again to shrug off blame for the
controversial citizenship-for votes initiative in Sabah.Without directly naming Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the former prime minister said that the current “Pakatan leader” should have known about the purported Sabah initiative as he would have been familiar with government policy then.
“If that is government policy, why didn’t he stop it?” Dr Mahathir told reporters after the Japanese Chamber of Trade and Industry Malaysia (JACTIM) 30th anniversary celebration here today.
“Is he going to lie to the commission that I told him to do all these things? He should know; he was my deputy,” he added, referring to the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on illegal immigrants in Sabah.
When asked if he was talking about Anwar, Dr Mahathir only said “Maybe”.
Dr Mahathir also said that the "Pakatan leader" should know "very well what I said and what I did".
Dr Mahathir testified at the RCI yesterday that he had never heard “until recently” of “Projek IC”, an initiative that purportedly awarded citizenship to illegal immigrants in Sabah in exchange for their votes in elections.
The country’s longest-serving prime minister also blamed “government officers” for the illegal awarding of identity cards (ICs) to foreigners, appearing to absolve himself from all blame over the controversial project that reportedly occurred from the 1980s onwards.
Pakatan Rakyat (PR) leaders said in response that Dr Mahathir’s testimony was likely packed with lies, noting that several witnesses at the RCI had testified to the existence of “Projek IC” or “Projek M”.
DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang said it was “inconceivable” for Dr Mahathir to claim ignorance of “Projek IC” and to blame low-ranking civil servants instead.
“Projek IC” is said to be responsible for the abnormal spike in Sabah’s population, where foreigners comprise nearly 30 per cent of the state’s 3.12 million-strong populace.
Dr Mahathir, who ruled as prime minister from 1981 to 2003, has been repeatedly named as the man who spurred the initiative.
