ANWAR IS 'PLAY ACTING', SAYS M'SIAN FM
KUALA KLAWANG (Malaysia), Sept 20 (Bernama) -- Foreign Minister Dr Rais Yatim said he believes Anwar Ibrahim is 'play acting' and wants the world to focus attention on him so that his sodomy case would be downplayed.
He said Anwar was an expert in raising new issues and playing down the old
ones with his oratory skill in separating fact from fiction.
"I wish to tell newspaper readers and television viewers in the country
that there have been so many stories about Anwar Ibrahim, let's just
wait for his (sodomy) case in court," he told reporters when commenting on
Anwar's proposal to move a vote of no-confidence against Prime Minister Abdullah
Ahmad Badawi at a special session of the Lower House of Parliament.
Rais, who is also the Member of Parliament (MP) for Jelebu, said this after
giving away 'zakat' contributions amounting to RM50,000 from Amanah Raya Bhd to
250 poor people at the Dewan Budaya Jelebu in Simpang Pertang, near here today.
He said Anwar's plans to form a new government on Sept 16 had fizzled out
and there was no physical evidence to support his claim as all the Barisan
Nasional (BN) MPs had given their pledge to the chief whip and Deputy Prime
Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak that they would not leave the
BN.
"Except for Yong Teck Lee and his colleagues from the SAPP. But the
SAPP had long wanted to leave the BN. And I don't consider this as an
achievement for Anwar," he said.
On the vote of no-confidence, Rais said this was not possible because no MP
from the BN had defected to the People's Justice Party (Parti Keadilan Rakyat)
(PKR).
On the need to speed up the transition of power, he said this was
appropriate because this was also the view of the majority, whether among the
Umno Supreme Council (MT) members or the Umno division heads.
Kuala Klawang is a small town in southern Negeri Sembilan-state, in
Peninsular Malaysia. It is situated within the parliamentary constituency of
Jelebu.
Jelebu, being the largest districts in Negeri Sembilan, is a suburban
district with blossoming semi-agricultural industry.
