'Absurd' to compare me to Dr M, says Anwar in suit against Pendang MP


KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim regarded as "totally absurd” the term "zalim” (cruel) used by Pendang MP Datuk Awang Solahuddin Hashim in describing him and comparing him to former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

The Pakatan Harapan chairman claimed that the action by Awang Solahuddin was driven by malice and that all references to Dr Mahathir were totally irrelevant and should not have been made.
