Kit Siang: Anwar is best man to be PM, but ‘game of numbers’ not practical now so let’s focus on Covid-19 exit before GE15

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 29 — While Lim Kit Siang still believes Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is Malaysia’s best candidate for prime minister, the DAP veteran does not think it wise for the country to put this to the test in a “game of numbers” in Parliament or to hold a snap general election right now.

The Iskandar Puteri MP again called on politicians to focus on leading the country out of the Covid-19 health crisis so that the 15th general election can be held safely in the foreseeable future.

“I have not hidden my position that the best prime minister for Malaysia today is Anwar Ibrahim and not anybody else whether Muhyiddin or Ismail Sabri, but I disagree with those who believe that it is still possible for Anwar to become the prime minister through the game of numbers.

“I do not believe that this is practical politics,” he said in a statement today.
