Let give space to Dr Mahathir to carry his duties - Anwar

SHAH ALAM – PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has rubbished speculation that Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is using PKR deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali to undermine his (Anwar’s) influence in Pakatan Rakyat

The former deputy prime minister said Dr Mahathir’s actions should not be interpreted in the context of politics.

“He (Dr Mahathir) has his arguments. He thinks in the interest of the nation and the institutions. If I am in a certain position I most certainly must determine my priorities and approach,” he told reporters after attending “tahlil” prayers for the late Sungai Kandis assemblyman Mat Shuhaimi Shafiei here.

He said Dr Mahathir must be given space to administer the country.

However, Bernama reported that he admitted it was difficult to prevent people from making their own interpretations regarding a certain matter.

“In terms of curbing my role, my influence, I honestly do not worry. I know the strength of my party and my relations with the coalition partners (in Pakatan Harapan),” he said.

Yesterday, Mohamed Azmin, who is also Economic Affairs Minister, had dismissed claims that Dr Mahathir was using him to keep Anwar in check.

In an interview with a news portal, he stressed that his loyalty to Anwar should not be questioned.

On other matters, Anwar said that rumours that he would be challenged for the PKR presidency were just that and that being a democratic party, anyone could make a bid.

Pakatan Harapan, made up of Bersatu, PKR, DAP and Amanah, won the 14th general election on May 9, thus ending six decades of Barisan Nasional rule of the country.

Sales and Marketing Vice-President Abdul Rashid Musa said the letter X is synonymous with crossover or SUV vehicles, while the number 70 denoted the size or class of the SUV and would enable Proton to adopt a logical system to add bigger or smaller models in the future. “This is the first time an alphanumerical naming system is used on a Proton model as our research shows it will make it easier to sell in ASEAN and other international markets, as there are no language barriers to overcome,” he told reporters at the preview of the new SUV. Proton Chief Executive Officer Dr Li Chunrong said Proton's adoption of the new naming system would make customer more focus on the brand name as compared with the model name. Abdul Rashid, who is also the Chief Executive Officer o...
