PRIME Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad today professed ignorance of a video showing two men coupling, one of them bearing a strong resemblance to a member of his cabinet.

“I don’t know anything about this,” he said. “I just heard about it. I need to read up about it first.”

“It is also good if you can brief me…,” he told the reporter who had asked if he knew about the video, which has gone viral.

In the video, two men are seen in bed together in what appears to be a hotel room.

Dr Mahathir was speaking at a press conference after chairing the Economic Action Council meeting in Putrajaya today.

Economic Affairs Minister Mohamed Azmin Ali, Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Saifuddin Nasution, Agriculture and Agro Based Industry Minister Salahuddin Ayub and Perbadanan Nasional Bhd (PNB) chairman Zeti Akhtar Aziz were present. – June 11, 2019.
