JOHOR BARU: Any Malaysian regardless of race can be made the Prime Minister of the country said DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang at a political rally.

"This is the political reality of today and the forseeable future," he said when addressing a crowd at Stulang here on April 24. Lim, who will also be contesting for the parliamentary seat of Gelang Patah here however stressed that the constitution does not say that a non-Malay cannot be made Prime Minister of Malaysia. "For now, I publically declare that our party endorses Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as our Prime Minister is we manage to topple Barisan in GE13," he said.
