Although a variety of answers and explanation has been given by the authorities, including the Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia, Adel al-Jubeir, none of those were acknowledged by Mahathir.
For Mahathir, he will stood by his baseless allegations and what is more funny is that his followers seems to have acknowledged these crazy allegations.
However yesterday, when many had urged Mahathir to question King Salman Abdulaziz Al Saud himself regarding the issue of RM2.6 billion, Mahathir once again suffered a blow when the king announced a direct investment of Saudi Arabia in the Rapid Pengerang project.
Who would have thought, King Salman would be willing to invest USD 7 billion on this project and it can be considered as one of the biggest investment in the history made by Saudi Arabia in Malaysia.
Not only that, he also announced the pilgrimage quota allocated for Malaysia is also increased from 22,700 to 30,000 pilgrims starting next year.
All these good news are a real blow to Mahathir and the opposition in general.
This is because they have been working hard all this while to link the issue of RM2.6 billion of fund with Datuk Seri Mohd Najib, but now, King Salman openly announced big investment and it can be considered a nightmare for Mahathir and his followers.
Imagine, if Datuk Seri Najib did embezzled the fund of RM 2.6 billion previously, why would King Salman willing to invest a huge amount of money in the Penggerang project?
This proves that what was accused by Mahathir and the opposition before is unfounded. The confidence shown by the government of Saudi Arabia today is certainly a big blow and a nightmare for Mahathir.
