Malaysian Indian United Party (MIUP) president S Nallakarupan today reiterated his claim that Anwar Ibrahim, who was once his close friend, is not qualified to lead the country.   

He told a news conference that he was puzzled as to how the opposition pact could accept Anwar as the opposition leader.

“He (Anwar) just goes around telling (people that) Barisan Nasional (BN) and Umno are no good. That’s all he says.  

“(But) the present prime minister is very daring, very honest and he is doing his best for the people. We need this (kind of) prime minister for the country.

“This is the first time he is facing a general election after becoming the prime minister. The rakyat (people) must give him a chance,” he said.
