Mokhzani Mahathir:
*April 2001* - Sells off Pantai Holdings, Tongkah Holdings, and announced withdrawal from corporate world.
The decision was made as the prime minister's son was disappointed with the allegations made by irresponsible groups who tarnished his name and that of his father's, Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir.
"Lately there have been many wild allegations linking me with government projects or mega projects which are not true and I feel this is an irresponsible move to tarnish my name and that of my father's," he told Bernama.
Mokhzani also said that his decision to withdraw from the corporate world by selling his entire direct and indirect interests in companies listed on the KLSE was not because he was sulking.
"I am not sulking. Who would want to sulk. To say that I am sulking from the corporate world is not correct," he said.
