KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 6 — Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has put to rest speculation that he will step aside for Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim next year.

In an interview recorded during the Asean Summit in Bangkok last weekend, Financial Times correspondent Stefania Palma asked Dr Mahathir directly if he would leave his post in 2020.

“No. There was no actual date or time mentioned. But the actual time that I will be there depends on the problems that we face.

“I’ve had some experience solving financial problems so they want me to solve the problems before I step down,” he said in the interview clip published today.

When asked if he still stood by his insistence that Anwar would be the person to succeed him, Dr Mahathir said yes without hesitation and pointed out that he promised this.

When Palma asked Dr Mahathir to address conspiracy theories that he did not plan to leave the prime minister’s post, he explained that he needed to be careful in appointing a successor due to his previous “mistakes”.

Dr Mahathir handpicked Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Datuk Seri Najib Razak in succession to be Malaysia’s prime minister before launching campaigns to oust both men.

Palma seized on this to ask if Dr Mahathir’s reluctance to relinquish the position quickly also meant he considered himself the only person suited to the challenge of leading Malaysia now.

“At the moment, maybe,” Dr Mahathir said.

Pakatan Harapan initially presented a succession plan that would see Anwar take over from Dr Mahathir within two years of the general election but it was later revealed that there is no formal agreement on when it must happen.

There are three (3) separate issues observed in above news article, namely:

(1) Mahathir will NOT hand over to Anwar Ibrahim in May 2020. It's as RPK said in Malaysia-Today, to wit, yes that Mahathir will hand over to Anwar, BUT only in 44 months time in 2023 when:

• he will no longer have any support even from the Malays, assuming he still wants to be PM at 99 years old (which if he is alive, I bet he still wants to, wakakaka), and

• the rakyat especially the Chinese will be so muak (fed up, pissed off, disgusted) with Pakatan Harapan the coalition will see its end in majority rule.

What a capati-maker; mana "dignity"?

(2) And do you believe in his arrogant self-delusion that “I’ve had some experience solving financial problems so they want me to solve the problems before I step down”? 

Please tell me who want(s) Mahathir to solve the financial problems that he as PM during 1981 to 2003 was responsible for starting?

And why didn't he sue Barry Wain for the latter's book in which Mahathir was described as wasting/losing more than RM100 Billion [value at those early years (1990 as a mean for 1981 to 2003) = RM200 Billion today in 2019] in his (lack of) governance as PM?

berpura2 stating his wish to resign but in reality waiting for his macai's to beg him to stay on (which he wanted to salve his MONSTROUS ego)

AAB and Najib only continued to follow his obscene fiscal example - no one could nor can ever beat his wasteful profligacy in bailouts, cronyism, sheer waste in useless projects and ego-trips.

No one wants nor expect him to be the person to solve our financial woes when he had been the one who caused(es) them. By SELF-declaring such, that he needs to stay on until he solve Malaysia's financial problems, apart from his monstrous conceit, he's saying he'll stay on forever because we cannot see Malaysia's financial problems disappearing in the immediate or intermediate periods - in fact we can expect MORE losses.

(3) This one beats or rather (to be moderately kind to him, wakakaka), reflects on his arrogant and self delusional mentality (orang Melayu kata 'otaknya ta'centre lagi).

Read again the report:

... he did not plan to leave the prime minister’s post, he explained that he needed to be careful in appointing a successor due to his previous “mistakes”.

Dr Mahathir handpicked Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Datuk Seri Najib Razak in succession to be Malaysia’s prime minister before launching campaigns to oust both men.

Palma seized on this to ask if Dr Mahathir’s reluctance to relinquish the position quickly also meant he considered himself the only person suited to the challenge of leading Malaysia now.

“At the moment, maybe,” Dr Mahathir said.

Apart from his ballooned conceit and inflated ego, and shamelessness (apa dan mana "dignity"nya?) as the only person suited to the challenge of leading Malaysia now (when in actuality he had as PM over 22 years eff-ed up Malaysia kaukau) he has the incredulous unbelievable bizarre temerity to allude to BOTH AAB and Najib as HIS SUCCESSORS.

Is he insane, mad, demented?

How in the world was Najib ever HIS SUCCESSOR?

Unless of course he considers himself as the Imperial Perpetual PM who appoints EVERY ONE that became PM after him as HIS SUCCESSOR?
