Mahathir tells PKR to stay focused on pledges to public Malaysia
Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad told the largest party in his government yesterday not to be distracted from fulfilling its pledges and responsibilities to the public after a fractious week for Parti Keadilan Rakyat , whose leaders are split over gay sex allegations levelled against its deputy president Azmin Ali.
Datuk Seri Anwar, 71, who is supposed to succeed Dr Mahathir, 94, under a transition plan agreed by PH leaders, posted on Twitter yesterday evening:"Let's take a step back and not lose sight of the issues that matter." "We give full and undivided commitment to him in his efforts to lead the country to what is desired by the public," said Kedah PKR chief Johari Abdul, representing the six.We must ask ourselves whether we will retain the mandate from the people if they continue to see us bickering for power, unaware that these squabbles are why we will lose power.Let's take a step back and not lose sight of the issues that matter.
This was after the arrests of nine people from Sunday to Tuesday. Those arrested included Mr Anwar's political secretary Farhash Mubarak and several other party members.
