Prominent Malaysian lawmaker Nurul Izzah Anwar yesterday stood by comments she made in an interview with The Straits Times in which she voiced her disappointment with the ruling Pakatan Harapan coalition, and referred to Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad as a former dictator.
Asked to elaborate on this, she said it had not been easy working with"a former dictator who wreaked so much damage, not just on our lives but the system". When asked about those remarks on Monday, Dr Mahathir commented that the feeling was mutual."Never mind, many people are disappointed. I am also disappointed with them," he was quoted as saying by The Star Online at a civil service event in Alor Setar, Kedah. He did not clarify who he meant.
The Malay Mail reported the PKR president as saying:"I think the statement was not wholly aimed at Tun Mahathir, but also directed towards other who voiced their opinions and attacked each other."
Whatever little of it that is. 😳
