Anwar says rejected DPM route to become PM, hints at mistrust of Dr Mahathir | Malay Mail

Sunday, 21 Jun 2020 11:04 PM MYTDatuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad are seen during a press conference after the Pakatan Harapan President Council Meeting at Yayasan Perdana Foundation in this file picture taken on February 21, 2020. — Picture by Ahmad Zamzahuri

Anwar stressed that PKR’s allies in Pakatan Harapan — DAP and Parti Amanah Negara — clearly back him to be the prime minister, but noted the second option of backing Dr Mahathir as prime minister and with Anwar as deputy prime minister temporarily had surfaced due to the need for majority support. Anwar said he did not consider the second proposal — of having Dr Mahathir becoming prime minister for six months before Anwar succeeds him — as a betrayal from PH allies, but instead described it as a mere difference in opinion with his allies who were backing him.
