Malaysia’s Mahathir accuses PM Anwar of being a dictator after pro-Malay rally blocked

KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysia’s former premier Mahathir Mohamad on Sunday accused Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim of being a dictator after aWhile Tun Dr Mahathir said he had no evidence that Datuk Seri Anwar was behind the sudden cancellation of the rally on Malay solidarity, he said the premier has been displaying increasing intolerance to free speech by attacking the opposition and his critics.

Dr Mahathir was scheduled to attend the gathering, which he said would have been attended by about 2,000 participants. Dr Mahathir said that during the Reformasi movement pro-Anwar supporters had regularly held “rough” protests, but the event that was planned for Sunday was not meant to be such.Without naming names, Mr Anwar said on Sunday that desperate leaders who had lost power were manipulating sensitive issues.

This old man got grandchildren and yet busy with politics 😂

Haha you can't even keep your deposit.

It is time for Mahathir to retire and get out of politics. He lost big time!
