LANGKAWI: The detention of several former leaders who now face charges related to

He said the country had laws in place to ultimately determine whether those facing

“The law does not exempt anyone, and in Malaysia, even the Rulers are subject to the

Farmers’ Organisation Building here yesterday.
Dr Mahathir was asked about the recent arrests of Umno leaders for alleged corruption,
including Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
