Well, well, lookie here...

So Mahathir testified to the Royal Commission that he only got to know VK Lingam 'recently'. Recent in this case is when he appointed Lingam to handle the Anwar Ibrahim legal suit. And only after that did the doctor invite Lingam over to the house. Before that, the only knowledge the M man had of His Correctness is via the papers. So he says lah.

Snigger.

Ganesh Sahathevan, who runs the blog Malaysia's Judiciary, has a scoop for you. He pulls up press clippings as far back as 1999 which report that the two M sons - Mirzan and Mokhzani - have both employed VK Lingam in different capacities and cases.

Of course, just because both the sons knew the Man who Looks like Himself, and Sounds Like Himself doesn't mean daddy actually knew him, yes?

But you never know. The little Jwo Burnes of this country are slowly crawling out of the woodwork, intentionally or not. You'll never know what's coming up next.
