Mahathir: The West will lead Anwar by the nose

PENANG, March 30 (Bernama) — Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad says the Malays will be made use of by foreign powers if they choose Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as prime minister.

Describing Anwar as a “a man of many parts”, he said Anwar had a glib tongue and hence could draw the attention of people from different groups and backgrounds.

“When he talks about Islam, Muslims will think he’s a champion of Islam. He’s also good at talking to the kampung (village) folk and also to those at temples.

“We know the west believes that Anwar will become prime minister in the near future. They can then lead him by the nose,” said Dr Mahathir during a question-and-answer session after he opened the annual general meeting of Persatuan Melayu Tanjong (Penang Malays Association) here Sunday.

Someone in the audience had asked him about western media reports that Anwar would soon become Malaysia’s prime minister.

“If the Malays are willing to kowtow to the foreigners, then they can choose this person (Anwar). I am sorry… he had maligned me all over the world, accusing me of arresting him and throwing him in jail,” Dr Mahathir said.

It’s all about him, Mahathir, isn’t it? He is still angry that Anwar “maligned” him “all over the world”.

If anyone had reason to be angry, it would be Anwar. His reputation was destroyed by Mahathir. He was imprisoned for “corruption”. He was the beaten by the chief of police. He was called a homosexual.

Mahathir should just shut up and let the people decide if they want Anwar to be the Prime Minister or not.

Just exactly who is the “West”?
