‘Anwar running out of ammo’
(New Straits Times) – Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim should resign from politics if he is adamant on attacking former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, said an independent member of parliament.
Bayan Baru MP Datuk Seri Zahrain Mohamed Hashim said Anwar, who is Parti Keadilan Rakyat de facto leader, had ran out of ammunition in his latest attempt to smear the former Umno president.
“Anwar should stop dragging the people and the country (through the mud) in settling his grudge against Dr Mahathir, who retired from politics long ago.
“What Anwar is doing is politicising a non-issue.
“He is manipulating the minds of the people, especially young voters, who do not know the true history of what had happened during the economic crisis,” said Zahrain yesterday.
He said if Anwar wanted to settle his grudge and if he really had evidence, then he should have taken Dr Mahathir to court.
