CRI听力:Former Malaysian PM Mahathir to Be Questioned on Anti-government Comment

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad says he will have no problem returning to Malaysia.

He's wanted for questioning by Malaysian authorities for taking part in this past weekend's demonstrations.

90-year-old Mahathir turned up at protests this past weekend in Kuala Lumpur, which were demanding Prime Minister Najib Razak step down amid a financial scandal.

Mahathir is now in Amman, Jordan, where he continues to question the huge sum of money the current Prime Minister once had in his private bank account.

"I hate to say this but I find that he is corrupt. He has 2.6 billion Ringgit, or 700 million U.S. dollar in his private account. No prime minister can have that amount of money, so we ask where did you get the money?"

Mahathir, Prime Minister of Malaysia for 22 years until 2003, was once Najib Razak's patron.

However, he's since become one of his fiercest critics following word that close to 700 million US dollars found its way into a bank account under the current Prime Minister's name.
