KAJANG: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim described as "irrelevant" the opposition support for sitting Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to serve a full term.

Anwar said the leadership transition matter should be decided by the Pakatan Harapan presidential council, and not the Opposition.

"The Opposition want to create a problem, that's normal," he said.

Anwar added that he was not surprised when PAS and some Umno leaders expressed support for Dr Mahathir to remain as Prime Minister for a full term.

PAS secretary-general Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan had said that all the party's MPs supported Dr Mahathir.

Anwar stressed that the issue did not involve the Opposition.

"The ruling party will decide on the leadership transition. For now, we support Dr Mahathir," he said.

Anwar said Bersatu president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, Amanah president Mohamad Sabu, and DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang had already commented on the matter.

Each day Anwar Ibrahim sounds more and more cool, less frantic, and in fact, very prime ministerial. Good on him.

And on his above statement, I deem he has made the BEST political statement for 2019 thus far, to wit:

"The Opposition want to create a problem, that's normal"

Wakakaka!
