“As far I’m concerned, I’m stepping down and I’m handing the baton to him. If people don’t want him, that is their business, but I will do my part of the promise... irrespective of whatever allegation. I made my promise, I keep my promise.” Last week, Anwar denied fresh allegations by a former aide that he had tried to force him to have sex — describing the accusations as “politics at its worst”.
He also raised the possibility of selling stakes in state energy firm Petronas to oil and gas-rich provinces.Firing back responses to questions from his perch on a sofa in his palatial office at Putrajaya on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, Dr Mahathir said he did not feel tired despite his age because he was satisfied by his work.
A summit in Kuala Lumpur next week would bring leaders from Iran, Pakistan, Turkey and other Muslim countries, officials said. Dr Mahathir said the meeting would look into situations where Muslims were being oppressed.
