Mahathir went on to encourage the public to read Murad’s statutory declaration.

Mahathir said the SD by Murad must be looked into and investigated.
In 2012, Malaysiakini reported PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution as claiming that Murad was under duress when he made the SD on Anwar’s alleged funds.
Saifuddin alleged that Murad had flown to Munich at the end of 2004 to meet Anwar and offer a private apology.
On a related matter, Mahathir said people should stay away from Malaysia due to the selective prosecution that is taking place.
“I want to tell the whole world not to come here as this is the new regime here.
“People are being investigated, except those part of the government.”
