FORMER Federal Territories minister Khalid Abdul Samad is not rejecting the possibility that the ongoing investigation on him is politically motivated due to a speech he made eight months ago. 

In a speech made in early March, Khalid was one of several people who stated that Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) president Anwar Ibrahim should have been chosen as prime minister as he commanded majority support in the Dewan Rakyat, but the Yang di-Pertuan Agong decided to name Muhyiddin Yassin instead.
