Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein denied the government's deportation of French lawyer William Bourdon was due to fear that he would reveal the latest findings on the Scorpene submarines and implicate Prime Minister Najib Razak for alleged corruption and graft in the RM7 billion acquisition.
According to Hisham, who is also Najib's cousin, "people get deported every day". And Bourdon was just a statistic.
“He broke the conditions of his visa. Because this is a high-profile case, people are selectively choosing to say it is political. People get deported every day,” Hisham told reporters on Monday.
