MM Online:
In new remarks, Dr M suggests he never buried the hatchet with Anwar

Mahathir appeared to blame Anwar for letting Perikatan Nasional take over the federal government, saying the latter was 'obsessed' with becoming the PM Reuters pic The senile but very toxic Nyanyiok still can't make up his evil mind to say (but personally not believe in, wakakaka) who brought down Pakatan Harapan, whether it had been Muhyiddin, Anwar or Najib (but not a word about Azmin Ali) |

" ... the Malay community viewed Anwar as a liberal ..."? Cakap ayam - Mahathir's inhumane treatment of Anwar in 1998 'forced' him to resign in favour of AAB, only because he knew the Malays would have voted him OUT for his kejam-ness |
The former prime minister told Sinar Harian that this has been the case since the time Anwar was still an Umno leader, saying the Malays feared liberalism would lead to an erosion of their rights and privileges.
“If we look back, when he left Umno while I was still the prime minister, he tried to form a party to oppose me.
“Before that, Ku Li also left the party to form Semangat 46. But that was a Malay party,” Dr Mahathir said, referring to Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah.

“Before that, Ku Li also left the party to form Semangat 46. But that was a Malay party,” Dr Mahathir said, referring to Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah.
“When Anwar left, he formed a liberal party. He wanted the support of DAP so he invited DAP in, invited PAS in. His philosophy is liberal.”
Dr Mahathir did not elaborate on the incongruity of lumping both DAP and PAS as liberals.
He went on to disclose his personal views about Anwar, who had been his anointed successor while the former was still the prime minister.
The problematic power transition between the two was a major element in the political crisis that eventually brought down the Pakatan Harapan administration and allowed Perikatan Nasional to stroll into power.
“I have issues with Anwar. I admit it. When I was still the Umno president, Anwar was dropped and sentenced to imprisonment."
“When we wanted to fight and bring down Najib, I thought between Najib and Anwar, Najib was the more dangerous."
“So I was willing to refer back to Anwar; I was even willing to work with DAP. If not, we would not have defeated Barisan Nasional,” he said in the interview.
These revelations will cast added doubt on Dr Mahathir’s previous insistence that he had been prepared to step aside for Anwar after Malaysia was done hosting the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in November.
Dr Mahathir already revealed previously that he was baited into considering a new coalition with what were then Opposition parties after his political secretary convinced him that Anwar would demand to be made the deputy prime minister.
He also appeared to blame Anwar for letting Perikatan Nasional take over the federal government, saying the latter was “obsessed” with becoming the PM, which led PH to withdraw support for Dr Mahathir at a crucial point in the crisis.

The Wicked Old Man continues to rant-blame everyone, especially those he hates most, namely Anwar and Najib.
His BS "When Anwar left, he formed a liberal party ..." is one humongous lie because he expelled Anwar on some questionable reasons; Anwar did NOT leave on his own accord.
And his "Najib was the more dangerous. So I was willing to refer back to Anwar; I was even willing to work with DAP. If not, we would not have defeated Barisan Nasional" plainly tells you his insincere evil duplicity in bleating 'Reformasi' (even wearing the BERSIH T-shirt).

wasn't he 'LIBERAL'? insincerely that was wakakaka |
I hope those pro-Mahathir Chinese gullible guppies read this and are able to understand what their wicked idol ('our beloved Atuk') is saying, wakakaka.
 |
gullible like Lim KS |
Right from the start, as if he had even ever changed his wickedness, he hadn't intended to take power (by using Harapan for his selfish needs) and then handed same to Anwar at all, or even the Harapan government in/for the long run.
It's always his own-created UMNO (II) in his wicked heart as he sees in the party Mukhriz's political sanctuary and future. All this while, he has been bleating the usual pretext of Malay unity and dignity, principally to ensure the future of Mukhriz. His UMNO will once again be the party of the big happy family, his family.
 |
nothing against Mukhriz as he is more like his mother |
And idiotic Lim KS and his inner cohorts remain silent and dumb throughout Mahathir's mafulat-ish Machiavellian manoeuvring and manipulations - as Malaysiakini columnist Commander (rtd) S Thayaparan would have sneering jibed: "Don't spook the Malays".
Padan muka to the DAP.

Cina memang bodoh |
I don't understand how anybody could believe that MM would be willing to hand power to Anwar..for the longest time I felt that MM was only playing with this idea to hand the PMship to AI to advance his own goals.
ReplyDeleteAnd if MM thinks that he can position Mukhriz to be PM9 or PM10, he (MM) should think again, Mukhriz would be swallowed up by the other snakes.
Mukhriz is simply not capable to fight his own battle.MM would very soon fade from the scene and will not be around to protect his junior.
MM is not in a position to negotiate Mukhriz's place and even if he (MM) can negotiate such a position for Mukhriz, the moment MM is gone, the knives would be out for Mukhriz.
Unfortunately for MM, he is leaving behind a legacy that was tainted during his stint as PM4 and made worse during his stint as PM7 as he has proven that not only does a leopard not change its spots but a snake will always be a snake.
