Show your cards, PKR challenges Dr Mahathir
PKR Vice-President Darell Leiking urges Mahathir to openly state whether he believes Anwar Ibrahim is a victim of political persecution
(FMT) – PKR’s Darell Leiking has called on former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad to openly state if he believes Anwar Ibrahim is innocent and a victim of political persecution.
Speaking to FMT, Leiking said Mahathir should put all his cards on the table.
He was responding to Mahathir’s statement earlier yesterday that this was not the time to talk about Anwar’s release.
It was reported that Mahathir, who is chairman of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM), had said they could not promise that Anwar would be released for now. This could only be considered if PPBM managed to form the government, he had said.
Mahathir had also said if everyone wanted to free Anwar, then it could not be ignored and must be studied.
Leiking said if Mahathir could not make any promises because PPBM was not in power, then at the very least, Mahathir could openly state if he believed Anwar was innocent and a victim of political persecution.
