A tale of two press conferences
It’s more or less official. It’s either Dr Mahathir Mohamad or Anwar Ibrahim. Maddey issued a nationally-televised statement yesterday saying he intended to form a non-partisan government which would put national interests first.
Meanwhile, the twice-ordained successor to Mahathir, Anwar, responded by saying Pakatan MPs had put him forward to the King as the next PM.
Right now, everything is still on a knife edge and the race is on between the septuagenarian and the nonagenarian to see who’ll be the next big boss.
