“Is Tun M afraid that Anwar may dig into his corrupt past?”

[superadmin]

I HAVE always wondered why there is such a strong and firm resistance in appointing Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as Malaysia’s 10th Prime Minister (PM).

He was once the second most important person in the Cabinet of former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. However, Dr Mahathir has always found ways and means to prevent Anwar from becoming PM.

Furthermore, Anwar was jailed on certain false accusations. Dr Mahathir had once insisted that Anwar will not become PM as long as he is there.

Another former PM Datuk Seri Najib Razak may not be as evil as Dr Mahathir but still assured that Anwar will not become PM. As before, Anwar was prosecuted and jailed.

In 2018, Pakatan Harapan (PH) took over political power on the understanding that Anwar would be appointed PM in the near future.

However, due to Anwar being jailed in the Sungai Buloh Prison back then, Dr Mahathir was appointed the interim PM until Anwar’s pardon and eventual return to the political arena.

But despite giving the impression that he is a changed person, Dr Mahathir still refused to hand over his PM post to Anwar.

He resisted stepping down from his position after two years. Anwar was impatiently waiting on the sidelines to take over the position, hence his hopes were sunk.
