Recently, local major dailies reported that Tun Mahathir apologized to Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi for accusing him of owning a house in Perth, Australia, in which the exact owner of the house is Equine Capital’s Patrick Lim Soon Kit’s wife Wong Mun Yee.

Dr Mahathir also apologised to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi for accusing him of owning a house in Perth, Australia.
He said he got carried away when he mentioned it at a talk in Kulai, Johor, on March 29 recently and added it was based on a rumour.
Via Bernama:
Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Wednesday apologised to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi for having alleged that the latter owned a mansion in Australia.
Yesterday, in a letter published by The Star, Tun’s political secretary Sufi Yusoff clarified that Tun had apologised for the factual errors that he had made, no more no less.
He might be old, but not senile. The next time when he apologized again, read beyond words and lines.
Meanwhile, Tun renewed his criticism when he slammed the Government’s indecision over a multi-billion-dollar rail project, which was shelved in 2003 and revived this year.
"At one time, they say mega projects are a waste of money. Now they are going for mega projects — very, very mega — so this is flip-flopping," Mahathir told reporters after his speech.
And the "very, very mega" costs us 26 times more than the RM14.45 billion mega project.
