Dr Mahathir was asked about reports that Malaysia is bringing back the plane when met by the media after visiting an art exhibition "Tun M: A Forever Legacy" at the Perdana University here today,
Bernama reported him saying: "Yes, I think so. We have to bring it back."
Dr Mahathir reiterated that the Malaysian government was trying to get back all the money that has been stolen from the country.
"We know who has it but of course we do not know where they are. And the need for us to access the money depends on our proving that it is our money," Benama reported him saying.
