Lokman Adam: Has Tun M inherited his father’s wealth which is then passed down to his sons?
“Dr Mahathir has made the dumbest statement in history by asking Anwar to furnish proof for every chicken, duck, goat and cow knows all four of Dr Mahathir’s children are billionaires,”
(Focus Malaysia) – UMNO supreme council member Datuk Lokman Noor Adam has challenged two-time former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to explain whether he had ever inherited substantial wealth from his late father that has enabled his four children to be billionaires today.
Lokman has earlier taken a swipe at the country’s longest serving PM who had demanded PM Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to furnish evidence of Anwar’s claim that he had siphoned the nation’s wealth during his premiership of “22 years plus 22 months” which Anwar used as argument to counter his participation in the “Malay Proclamation” event which failed to lift off.
(Editor’s Note: Dr Mahathir has earlier today given Anwar seven days to retract a claim that he had enriched himself and his family members while in power despite the latter not mentioning Dr Mahathir by name.)
“Making allegations is easy. But allegations that are not clearly proven cannot be accepted as true. It’s a slander,” Dr Mahathir has defended himself in a Facebook post. “I’m complaining now because the Malays have lost everything after I resigned as PM. Indeed, the Malays became so poor after I no longer was the PM.”
According to Lokman, the original wealth in Dr Mahathir’s family pales in comparison to that of now incarcerated former PM Datuk Seri Najib Razak who might not have inherited his original wealth directly from his father Tun Razak Hussein but from his mother Toh Puan Rahah Noah.
This is given that she is the daughter of Tan Sri Noah Omar who “together with Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong were instrumental in establishing the Genting Highlands Resorts until the duo parted ways when the late Lim wanted to inject gambling business into Genting’s operations”.
“Dr Mahathir has made the dumbest statement in history by asking Anwar to furnish proof for every chicken, duck, goat and cow knows all four of Dr Mahathir’s children are billionaires,” chided Lokman who was only recently reinstated as UMNO’s supreme council member.
“Although Tun Razak never abused his father-in-law’s wealth to even build a residence in London, at least in Najib’s case we know the channel of his wealth as opposed to the case of Dr Mahathir. To begin with, what was the occupation of his father?
