PETALING JAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has called it “quits” with Pakatan Plus since PKR rejected the Mahathir-Anwar combo for prime minister.
He also ruled out any contact with PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for more talks on future cooperation.“No, I think I will quit,” said the 94-year-old former premier and ousted Parti Pribumi Bersatu chairman, when asked if he would cooperate with Anwar during a video interview with Sin Chew Daily.
When asked if he would continue working with DAP and Amanah, Dr Mahathir said yes, as they support him as prime minister. During a recent interview with Singapore’s Channel News Asia, Anwar said he was willing to consider a senior minister or minister mentor role for Dr Mahathir instead of accepting a proposal for Dr Mahathir to be the prime minister for six months before handing over power to him.
“He would want to have his own legacy and not say that ‘Okay, my legacy came from Mahathir’. I think, just forget about it,” he added.
