Anwar calls out Dr M over Malay dominance gripe
SHAH ALAM: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has taken a veiled jab at Dr Mahathir Mohamad saying the latter only complained about Malays losing their dominance after he was no longer in power.
While Anwar, who is also Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman, did not mention the former prime minister by name, he alluded to the time when Mahathir led the government.
“There are people, who had been in power for 22 years and (later) an additional 22 months,” Anwar said of Mahathir’s two stints as prime minister.
“Now that he has lost power he is whining that Malays have lost everything,” he said when officiating the PKR congress here.
