Anwar: I didn't become PM because I didn't want to interfere with court cases


PORT DICKSON: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (pic) says he did not get to become the prime minister despite having the support of at least 118 MPs because of his decision not to entertain calls to discontinue certain court cases involving prominent personalities once he gets the job.

The Port Dickson MP, who had in Sept 2020 claimed to have the numbers to become PM claimed he was then told that court cases, including those involving former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had to be discontinued if he wanted support to become premier but he was not prepared to do so.
