ANWAR'S TACTICS UNDEMOCRATIC, UNETHICAL, UNGENTLEMANLY, SAYS A STATE CHIEF MINISTER

SANDAKAN (Malaysia), Sept 15 (Bernama) -- The strategy used by People's Justice Party (PKR) advisor Anwar Ibrahim to take over the government so that he can become prime minister has been lambasted as "utterly undemocratic, unethical and ungentlemanly".

East Malaysia state of Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman who made the
description, said it was clear that Anwar's tactics to get ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) members of parliament (MPs) to switch camp was to fulfil his dream of becoming prime minister.

He said Anwar had also openly stated that he would make every effort to get the support of BN MPs in order to achieve his ambition.

"It has been proven that Anwar has big dreams and is in a hurry to form a
new government, that he just cannot wait for the next general election to do so
via the democratic process.

"If he is convinced that he has the support of the people, he should wait
for the due process," Musa said in a statement here Sunday.

Musa, who is also Sabah BN chairman, said that BN elected representatives
were mature and wise enough not to be trapped by Anwar's politics.

He said the Sabah BN MPs might be vocal on certain issues but this did not
mean that they were against the BN top leadership.

"I believe they will remain grateful and thankful to the BN supporters for
enabling them to become MPs," he added.
