Why target only Mahathir and not also Anwar. And this year once Pakatan Harapan won GE14 and Tun Mahathir became our seventh prime minister he had said that Anwar was going to get a royal pardon and he could be free to participate in politics and as we write this he had just been released from the Cheras Hospital.


Malaysia S Mahathir Anwar Ally Again Amid Crisis

Anwar told a press conference on May 16 2018 that the King had granted him full pardon in his three trials abuse of power Sodomy 1 and Sodomy 2 on the basis that there was a miscarriage of justice.

Why did mahathir put anwar. Anwar Malaysias prime minister-in-waiting for a second time has accused the party of Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and traitors in his own camp of planning to bring down the ruling. This is my first letter to you. Do we really believe that Mahathir having access to the best intelligence anyone can get did not know what Muhyiddin and Azmin were up to all along behind not only his back but also the backs of his.

It was perceived failures by Mahathirs previous successors to adhere to his policy positions that led to the former Barisan Nasional stalwart defecting to the then opposition. If so why didnt Mahathir simply hand the premiership to Anwar. But despite all that the reunion between Tun M and Anwar is one that has shocked many many Malaysians.

He did said that Anwar can only be PM over his dead body. He would be 100 right if he had included Mahathirs sidekick Anwar in his views and comments. And the reason why Mahathir collapsed the government and would rather see Muhyiddin take over as PM8 is because he did not want Anwar Ibrahim to take over as PM8.

Why did Mahathir and other leading figures from the ruling United. KUALA LUMPUR Nov 21 Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad shot back today at critics who accused him of blocking Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim from becoming prime minister blaming instead 92 MPs who chose the PKR president thereby causing a division in the ranks and the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan PH. Anwar was a prominent Islamist leader who led large-scale anti-government protests in the 1970s before he was brought into Umno when Mahathir took over power from Hussein Onn in 1981 to become the fourth prime minister.

Mahathirs main motivation is about ensuring that the familys leading role and legacy as the nations helmsman will be continued and carried on by his son Mukhriz asheir to the family s. Mahathir has never like Anwar and he sacked Anwar and instigated a case to lock him up. The remarks by Mahathir 95 further muddy the waters in what promises to be a fresh political crisis for the country just months after Muhyiddin a former ally of.

Many called you that when you became sports minister in 1982 under. Dr Mahathir Mohamad brought Anwar Ibrahim into Umno and he bypassed many others to become the deputy prime minister before his sacking in 1998 on charges of sodomy and abuse of power. I call you saudara because when you organised student demonstrations for Baling rubber holders in 1974 that was what university students I was one of them then called you.

Malaysia economy stands to lose in Mahathir-Anwar power game. I was angry with the police. He fell out with his original successor Anwar over disagreements over how to deal with the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis.

There were long-standing tensions within the ruling alliance which involved an unlikely partnership between Mahathir and Anwar Ibrahim. Mahathir soon appointed Anwar to his Cabinet a move seen as neutralising the influence of PAS. PKR was then formed as an avenue for reform.

He said the pardon was also on the basis that there was a conspiracy to condemn him and assassinate his political character. Mahathir and Anwar had reportedly disagreed over delays to the plan for Anwar to take power. Mahathir needs to explain why he did not consult his coalition partners before stubbornly resigning as PM and then trying to form a government without the involvement of political parties.

Mahathir if anyone you should hate it is not former PM Pak Lah Abdullah Ahmad Badawi not Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim definitely not. Anwar is right in not supporting Mahathir so long as Mahathir does not put the people and not his needs and wants ahead of himself. Pakatan Harapan wanted to oust Mahathir and replace him with Anwar.

Kua was only half-right about his views and comments on Mahathir. That is why Mahathir sabotaged Pakatan Harapan and brought down the government. Why attend the Sheraton Move.

At the request of Malaysias king Mahathir has agreed to serve as interim prime minister until. He said if he were a dictator as many would call him he could have put Anwar in jail directly instead of giving him a trial. When Operasi Lalang was launched Anwar did not oppose it.

Simply put in this scenario we have moved beyond the exhausting and painfully passe question of Dr Mahathir or Anwar to a scenario of Dr Mahathir and Anwar. I asked them why they didnt. Mr Anwar denied that Dr Mahathirs resignation was due to pressure from PKR claiming that the request made by PKR grassroots for Dr Mahathir to vacate the position was not a.

He is afraid that Anwar may take revenge over what Mahathir did to him and its pay back time as Mahathir isnt that clean. Even if the charges against Anwar are true then the obvious question arises. Mahathir if you dont have a problem with Anwar why did you not hand the reins of government to him as promised in GE14.

Why must you insist on some irrelevant international gathering before doing so. KUALA LUMPUR -- The year 2020 has long loomed large in the Malaysian mind. Anwar dont be subservient to Mahathir get rid of him.

The prospect of a multiracial party was very appealing and the cry of Reformasi captivated many. Mahathir did not give a reason for his resignation. The main reason they had to get the leadership together he added was that they did not want another failed government.

This was the impetus to persuade all the leaders to support Anwar A collective decision to support Anwar.
