SHAH ALAM: Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad says he has no issues with Pakatan Harapan seeking a royal pardon to spring his former political nemesis Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim out of prison in the event the Opposition manages to take over Putrajaya.

Dr Mahathir said this at a forum on Friday night in response to a query from Penang Institute fellow Wong Chin Huat if he would support any Pakatan move to free Anwar.
