Anwar: Dr M losing sleep because of me
 |
Former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad's "biggest nightmare" is to have PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim become the prime minister, charged the latter.
Speaking to reporters in Kuching yesterday, Anwar said Mahathir's primary concern is that a new government would affect his son's contracts with petroleum companies.
“His biggest nightmare is that I will take over the government. He is worried about his legacy and his son’s oil-based company.
“We are talking about oil royalty. We are talking about Sabah and Sarawak to have their own petroleum companies which must control at least 30 percent of petroleum production,” he said.
Anwar said this when asked to respond to Mahathir's oft-repeated claim that Pakatan Rakyat should not be given even a term in Putrajaya.
Mix of oil and beer
He claimed that one of Mahathir's sons controls a company which receives many contracts from Petronas
“Therefore, he is very worried because this involves billions of ringgit. Moreover, he is the advisor to Petronas, and if we take over, he will not be the advisor and there will be no monopoly of contracts awarded to his son.
“He is worried about his other son who has acquired (Manila-based beer brewer) San Miguel for RM2.9 billion. You have to explain how come you are able to make so much money.
“How come, as a Muslim leader, you control San Miguel?” said Anwar.
When Pakatan forms the next federal government, the PKR leader assured that the Pakatan government would not disturb him for what he has done in the past.
“I want to assure Mahathir and Malaysians that I have no malice against anyone. It is not my interest to go against anyone. My interest is to make sure that we are able to govern this country justly and fairly.”
“I not only wish him well, but would like to also offer a small advice that he should be more tactful, for example, accusing me that if I become prime minister, I will sell this country to the Chinese.
“Certainly, this is not a wise thing to say,” Anwar added, pointing out that Mahathir’s views are obsolete.
“With due respect to Mahathir, he represents the old school, and some of his views are really obsolete,” said Anwar.

'Too much emnity'
Advising Mahathir to retire gracefully, he said: “Mahathir should not show so much enmity and viciousness towards individuals. It is not wise for him to do so.“I not only wish him well, but would like to also offer a small advice that he should be more tactful, for example, accusing me that if I become prime minister, I will sell this country to the Chinese.

Did Anwar say it?
If he did, he certainly underestimated Mahathir's true grit.
Mahathir is a nationalist of the first order and fearless to a fault. Right or wrong, his biggest and real fear is Anwar destroying the country should he be made the prime minister, which he is likely to do so with his condescending ways toward Western powers and Orang Putehs.
Who knows Anwar best, you, me or Tun Mahathir? As in the English idiom "familiarity breeds contempt", which means that 'the more one get acquainted with a person, the more one knows about his or her shortcomings and , hence, the easier it is to dislike the person.'
With almost two decades under Mahathir, the man true character must have, over time, manifested to the utter disgust of Mahathir.
Anwar failed the test when Mahathir went on leave and appointed him acting prime minister. Mahathir came back reeling in disbelief what his No.2 was trying to do when he was away.

He is what we would call in Sabah, girls who love "Orang Putehs", the OPs or "Orang Puteh Specialists"(pun intended)....or in more refined term an "anglophile", which encompasses not only the flesh but the whole culture and way of life.
What's wrong with oil and beer.The Malaysian government has many investments in hotels and airlines that serve alcoholic drinks.MAS serves alcohol. Emirates and Qatar Airlines belong to two Islamic countries, much more Islamic than Malaysia, but they allow booze to be served on their airlines.
It's business first, and of all people who should know better, it should be Anwar. He was Finance Minister before, a ministry that helm, monitor and collect dividends from all government investments through its GLCs.
Anwar is pandering to ignorant Muslims, who he thinks he can sway to his side by his baloney.

As one can see Anwar already had in mind the kind of witch hunt that he would employ to debilitate his enemies and their families once he attained power, otherwise, he wouldn't be talking about it.

I bet you if this Moroon steps into one of the Longhouses,he will be chased out by parang wielding Ibans for allowing his goons questioning the bravery of the late Kanang.Agi Idup Agi Ngelaban.
Anwar days can be numbered. Fence sitter will dump him.
If Mahathir is losing sleep, why is Anwar looking very tired and worn out and Mahathir is ever fresh and youthful at 87?
