Dr M says he will 'wait and see' what materialises from Anwar's claim

PETALING JAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad (pic) says he will “wait and see” what materialises from Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's claim that he has the numbers to show majority support and form the next government, reports TheEdge Singapore.

Speaking before Anwar’s press conference on Wednesday (Sep 23) live over Zoom at Nutanix's Asean CIO Virtual Summit, Dr Mahathir said this was not the first time Anwar had claimed to have majority support of Parliament.

“We will have to wait to see if this is another episode of making claims that cannot be substantiated, ” he was quoted as saying.

In a press conference on Wednesday (Sept 23), Anwar claimed that he had the support to form the next government, but did not reveal the numbers.

Anwar also said he was supposed to meet Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah on Tuesday (Sept 22), but it was postponed as the King was being treated at the National Heart Institute.
