Daim will have sleepless nights if I am PM, says Anwar

SHAH ALAM: Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has warned former finance minister Daim Zainuddin that he would have sleepless nights should Anwar become prime minister.

Anwar said Daim would be the last person who would want to see him appointed prime minister, especially since Anwar had taken over at the finance ministry from Daim in the 1990s.

“He would have sleepless nights!” said Anwar to reporters covering the PKR national congress here today.

Anwar’s comment about Daim came in response to an interview Daim gave the Malaysian Insight last week, in which Daim suggested that Anwar should retire, to give younger leaders a chance.

“When I talked about the Pandora Papers and all these financial scandals, people using their office to amass wealth, squander billions… he has to answer. He should not take it personally…but he has to answer,” Anwar said.
