COMMENT Very few people can beat former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad in his ability to spot the needle in the haystack.

I want to pick up from where he had stopped. According to Dr Mahathir, the letter purportedly written by one HRH Prince Saud Abdulaziz Al-Saud is “full of inconsistencies with regard to dates, amounts of money and frequency of disbursement.”

Dates do not tally

Firstly, the letter was dated Nov 1, 2011. This was written about four-and-half years ago and only now are we told that there is such a letter.
