On Tuesday, Mahathir promised to hand over power to rival-turned-ally Anwar in spite of the latest allegations against him.Police recorded Muhammad Yusoff’s statement on Monday, criminal investigations department director Huzir Mohamed said in a statement.
“The prime minister is still my client but that does not mean I should not take on cases just because they involve his ministers or people in his administration,” Mohamed Haniff told Reuters.
