Dr Mahathir Mohamad has challenged Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to another "Nothing to Hide" programme, dubbed “Nothing to Hide 2.0”.

In a Facebook post this evening, the former prime minister said Najib should seize the chance to respond to all the allegations against him.

"I will attend the programme and answer any questions posed by the rakyat," he added.

In an accompanying video, Mahathir said he was glad that Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia's (Bersatu) Youth wing wanted to organise the event. However, the date or venue was not mentioned.

"This second 'Nothing to Hide' programme will also give me the chance to explain the allegations and slander hurled against me. At the same time, Najib will have the opportunity to answer the allegations against him.

"This is so that the rakyat can decide whether our explanation is the truth or otherwise," Mahathir added...
