More news from the star on Mahathir’s forum in London. Mahathir complained about the freedom on speech in Imperial College where his forum was limit to the IC students. Hypocrite, isn’t he? He is the one who tried to clamp down opposing views and the media throughout his 22 years of administration. He should be the last person on earth that could say anything about freedom of speech!
LONDON: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was left fuming over a last-minute decision to bar outsiders from attending his talk on war crimes at Imperial College here on Friday.
The former prime minister said he regretted any attempt to block his speech entitled Expose War Crimes: Criminalise War at Imperial College.
Scores of Malaysians and non-Malaysians were left stranded outside the Sir Alexander Flemming building in the college when they were barred from entering the lecture theatre hall where the talk was held.
Security guards stationed near the entrance were seen checking for Imperial College identification cards before allowing them in.
During his speech, Dr Mahathir said he believed that Britain was a country where free speech was upheld.
