1. I welcome Lim Kit Siang's proposal for Najib to set up a royal commission on whether I burned RM100 billion on grandiose projects and corruption during my 22-year reign.

2. Such a commission should not be made up of Government nominees but should have as members impeccable people including foreigners and members of Transparency International.

3. The commission should not confine to one Prime Minister only but to Tun Abdullah Badawi's regime.

4. It should include how RM270 billion of Petronas money paid during Abdullah's five-year term was spent; what projects were financed by this huge fund and the cost of all these projects.

5. It should include how much money was lost due to the cancellation of the crooked bridge and the Johore Baru to Padang Besar railway.

6. What is the cost over-run in the construction of the Bakun Hydroelectric project.

7. The financing of the second Penang Bridge and the procedure followed when giving out this contract.

8. I also agree with Lim Kit Siang that the investigation would reflect Najib's commitment to "combating corruption".

9. In order that the enquiry by the commission would be successful, Government must give the undertaking to give full access to the commission of all the documents and accounts of the Government over the period 1981-2009. There should be no cover-up of any kind.

10. Barry Wain must provide documentary proof of any sum that he alleged I had burned.

11. I will co-operate fully with the commission.

12. Depending upon the result of the commission, I reserve the right to sue Barry Wain, Lim Kit Siang and Malaysiakini.com for libel for a sum to be disclosed later.

13. If the Government is witholding the book: "Malaysian Maverick: Mahathir Mohamad in Turbulent Times", I would request that the book be released forthwith. I am not in need of Government protection.

Mahathir cabar siasat isu seleweng RM100 bilion
Dis 22, 09 7:43pm

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad mencabar perdana menteri agar menubuhkan suruhanjaya diraja bagi menyiasat dakwaan beliau menyelewengkan RM100 bilion sepanjang 22 tahun pentadbirannya.

Mantan perdana menteri menyahut desakan tokoh popular DAP Lim Kit Siang semalam yang mahu kerajaan berbuat demikian sewaktu mengulas pendedahan dalam buku Malaysian Maverick: Mahathir Mohamad in Turbulent Times, karangan Barry Wain.

Karya bekas editor kanan akhbar berpengaruh Asian Wall Street Journal itu kini ditahan pihak berkuasa Malaysia di Pelabuhan Kelang tanpa sebarang alasan.

Mengulas tindakan menahan buku tersebut di blognya hari ini, Dr Mahathir berkata beliau tidak memerlukan sebarang "perlindungan" daripada kerajaan dengan berbuat demikian.

Beliau malah menggesa buku setebal 368 halaman terbitan Palgrave Macmillan itu dibenarkan beredar di negara ini.

Selain itu, Dr Mahathir juga mengancam mengambil tindakan undang-undang terhadap Lim, Wain dan Malaysiakini jika tuduhan-tuduhan dalam buku tersebut didapati tidak benar oleh suruhanjaya diraja tersebut.

Bersetuju dengan gesaan Lim, mantan perdana menteri berkata penubuhan suruhanjaya itu lambang kesungguhan Datuk Seri Najib Razak "membanteras rasuah" di negara ini.

Dr Mahathir bagaimanapun meletakkan beberapa syarat, antaranya suruhanjaya itu nanti harus turut menyiasat penggantinya Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi yang dituduhnya menyebabkan kerugian akibat pembatalan beberapa projek yang dimulakannya.

Beliau juga mencadangkan anggota-anggota suruhanjaya itu disertai oleh tokoh-tokoh berwibawa dari luar negara, termasuk pemimpin NGO anti-rasuah terkenal Transparency International, selain pegawai lantikan kerajaan.
