PETALING JAYA: Dr Mahathir Mohamad has questioned a claim by the Kedah state government that it is facing some RM1 billion in lawsuits by logging companies after their concessions were revoked by the previous administration.
Mahathir, whose son Mukhriz’s state government collapsed following a string of defections from PKR and PPBM representatives, said the concessions were previously withdrawn to protect a water catchment area serving four million people and paddy fields in the state as well as neighbouring Perlis. “Now the loggers get new ‘jobs’. Do not sell the forest. Do not sell Kedah’s treasures for your friends, the loggers,” he said in a Facebook post.
