Dr Mahathir was replying to Conducting Officer Datuk Suhaimi Ibrahim, who suggested that Dr Mahathir was a perfectionist and meticulous person who would pay great attention to a problem, but had failed to pay attention to the huge losses suffered by BNM. At this juncture, RCI panel member, High Court Judge Datuk Kamaludin Md Said, told Dr Mahathir that the issue in question concerned the losses suffered by BNM. “I take note of the reports (on BNM losses) from my officers. On former BNM governor Tan Sri Jaffar Hussein, Dr Mahathir said Jaffar was personally known as a credible, trustworthy and reasonably prudent person. He is also known as a strict, straightforward person and I have full confidence in his integrity and transparency, Dr Mahathir said.
