Dr Mahathir: I'll keep my promise
- 5 years ago
Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has vowed not to renege on his agreement to hand over the leadership reins to PKR president Anwar Ibrahim.
This is after Turkish international news channel TRT world quizzed him on the sex video implicating Economic Affairs Minister Azmin Ali and its relevance to the transition plan.
"I'm not going against my own promise. Whatever happens, I will stick to the promise I made," he said.
Asked earlier to comment on his complex relationship with Anwar, which saw the pair becoming allies after two decades of bitter political enmity, he replied: “Well, I have already agreed that when I step down, he will take over from me as prime minister.”
“That is a promise I made and I will stay with the promise,” he added.
