Dr M: Anwar unable to suggest any solutions to crisis during our phone call
Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad confirmed that he had received a call from PKR president Anwar Ibrahim recently and that they discussed the country's current political and health crisis.
However, he portrayed Anwar as being stumped by the problem.
"He seemed to be unable to suggest anything that we could do to solve the problems we are facing, so I suggested maybe we should write to the Agong," the nonagenarian said in an online press conference today.
Sin Chew Daily reported that the phone call took place on the night of May 28.
Mahathir said he subsequently wrote to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong seeking an audience which he believed led to the meetings at the palace yesterday and today between the monarch and various political party leaders.
Mahathir and Anwar had a second falling out after the Pakatan Harapan government collapsed last year.
Prior to that, Mahathir was supposed to handing over the reins of government to Anwar.
The former was given more time but the Harapan government collapsed before the transition could be set into motion.
Efforts for the two to form a pact after that have not succeeded with Mahathir being adamant that his new party Pejuang will not ally with the Anwar-led Harapan.
Relating how the phone call happened, Mahathir said the PKR president had called up his son Mukhriz first.
"He rang up Mukhriz saying he wanted to talk to me
"Mukhriz then asked me if I'm prepared to talk to him and I said yes," said Mahathir.
Asked whether there was any talk about teaming up against Perikatan Nasional, the former prime minister said he could not recall any substantial discussion on that point.

kt notes:
There is and can be NO end to the Old Devil's hatred for Anwar. And of course Anwar has been an idiot for even bothering to contact him to join in with Pakatan to help solve the current Malaysian pandemic-economic problem. The Devil has his own agenda which does NOT include Anwar except Mukhriz. Let this encounter be a lesson to those blind-as-bats morons in Pakatan, especially DAP who still wants to make him their leader and eventual PM9.
conman hv a point, anwar ao solution
ReplyDeleteForever stabbing Anwar in the back.
ReplyDeleteOne day, when Conman is on his death bed, he will still be condemning Anwar.
Yiu are right. Anwar is a bloody idiot to even contemplate contact with the old man.
ReplyDeleteAnwar really deserves to be in the shithole for his stupidity.
His close confidantes are not helpibg him when they allow such stupidity by him
According to inside PKR sources it was Dr M who contacted Anwar as Anwar was in touch with the palace. Well he said she said.. Old man got the first word in so that's that
