PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim has described Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak as hypocritical for criticising him over a peace deal to accept the general election results when the premier himself refused to sign it.

“He did not sign it, in fact before I signed it, Pak Jusuf (former Indonesian vice-president Jusuf Kalla) went to him and he said ‘No’.

NONE “There was no contract, Najib said he agreed, that he was a man of honour, but he is a prime minister of no courage to even sign what he had agreed,” Anwar told a press conference at the PKR headquarters this afternoon.

The peace deal between Najib and Anwar, brokered by Jusuf ( right ), touched on election ethics, free and fair election, accepting the results of the general election and reconciliation.

As such, Anwar said, Najib should be "the last person" to criticise the former on the deal, especially when he did not honour many deals specified.

"The prime minister is the last person to talk about lying after cheating in the election, having no courage to honour the commitment to ethics and free and fair election...

"It is enough to show how fraudulent the (electoral) process was and it is hypocritical of Najib (to say that I broke the deal)," he said.

'PM intended to break deal'

Anwar said he had signed the agreement as he had already publicly supported ethical campaigning and free and fair elections.

However, he said, accepting the general election result was contingent on the provision of ethics and a free and fair election, which was not fulfilled by Najib.

"He (Najib) did not sign the agreement as he intended to breach the contract from the beginning.

"He did not follow ethical campaigning and he cheated in the general election," Anwar said.

He pointed out the demonising of the opposition by the mainstream media during campaign period, denying the opposition access to media and alleged widespread fraud in the 13th general election.

"You refused to sign the agreement and now you are talking about an agreement you refused to sign," Anwar added.
