Anwar and Tun M to lock horns in court battle royale: May the best man win

[superadmin]

“THIS is quite a game, politics. There are no permanent enemies, and no permanent friends, only permanent interests,” so observed black American politician William L. Clay (born 1931).

How true is this in the case of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim – two men who have gone one full cycle from superior-subordinate to political foes (1998 Reformasi movement) to political ally (in the aftermath of the 2018 national polls) and back to becoming political foes again.

Interestingly, the duo who know each other so well – probably as far back as three decades if not more – are unable to put their differences aside lest allowing ill-feeling or suspicion to linger on to the extent that they would ultimately have to lock horn in the civil court.

Both men are certainly aware of the price they have to pay in defence of their ego and pride for all their dirty linen will ultimately be washed (and left to dry) in public.
