Rais Yatim insists no black and white for Anwar to become PM, says Dr M likes Azmin better
KUALA LUMPUR, June 23 — There is no official agreement for Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to succeed current Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad despite the promise as per Pakatan Harapan’s election pledges, veteran politician Tan Sri Rais Yatim has claimed.The Star
“I don’t see that there’s an agreement. In politics, there is no agreement unless it’s black and white. Rais said Dr Mahathir will likely choose a wholesome successor to become the next prime minister, and said economic affairs minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali is closest to the latter while claiming that Dr Mahathir favours the PKR deputy president over others.
“I think they have worked together and perhaps Tun likes him better than the rest. Perhaps that is why many of these crutches are being propped up,” said Rais, referring to the recent sex video scandal, which had implicated the Gombak MP.“He got his third national car programme. He got a good list of things to do that he does not need to leave just now. After all, there was no schedule of leaving — tentatively or completely.
