Dr M to Najib: I paid for the land lease in Langkawi, it wasn't free

Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad today launched another salvo at his political adversary Najib Abdul Razak, after the latter made an issue with a land plot that was leased to him in Langkawi, Kedah.

Admitting that he did take the lease, the Langkawi MP said he did not get it for free or at a discounted rate.

This was unlike Najib who had requested the government to award him with luxury property, according to Mahathir.
