Anwar: Who is Rais to question my position?
FREE MALAYSIA TODAY NOW HAS A SLICK NEW FORMAT
(Free Malaysia Today) – Party Keadilan Rakyat’s de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today rapped Umno veteran Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim for questioning his position as opposition leader in parliament.
“He has no right to question my position because all consideration for that position is decided by the leaders of Pakatan Rakyat and not by Rais or even other Umno-Barisan National leaders,” Anwar said.
Rais, who is also Information, Communications, and Culture Minister had reportedly urged Anwar to let go of his position not only as Opposition Leader but as a Member of Parliament following his sodomy trial.
Anwar said Rais’ authority is limited to government-owned Radio Television Malaysia (RTM) station and he had no authority to decide on other individuals’ political positions.
