Anwar: I won't interrupt Dr M, don't disrupt me when it's my turn

SEMENYIH POLLS | PKR president Anwar Ibrahim reiterated that he supports Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s leadership and he will not disrupt his work.

Speaking at a ceramah in Taman Sri Jenaris last night, Anwar stressed that he will not interrupt Mahathir’s affairs and he hoped that he will not be interrupted when he becomes the next prime minister.

“We give our full support (to Tun M), let him do his work. I won’t interrupt because I don’t want to disrupt his work.”

“When it is my turn, let me do my work and don’t disrupt me too. This is our mutual understanding,” added Anwar.

He also rubbished PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang’s claims about the motion of no-confidence against Mahathir in Parliament.

“If I want to fight against someone, I will shout loudly.”

Then, he shouted the slogans of “Lawan tetap lawan” and said that doing things secretly at the back is not his style. A large crowd of about 600 people clapped their hands to show their support.

On Feb 17, PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan said the Islamist party has pledged to support Mahathir in the event of a “betrayal” within Harapan.

He said the "draft letter," signed during a recent meeting between the premier and PAS top leadership in Kuala Lumpur, was a declaration of the party's support for Mahathir.

Apart from Takiyuddin, other PAS leaders present at the meeting with Mahathir were Hadi and Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar.

Harapan leaders from Bersatu, PKR, DAP and Amaneh, however, have dismissed the no-confidence motion.

When asked, Mahathir said that he will wait and see whether PAS will honour its pledge to support him in the event of a no-confidence vote to oust him.
