Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad yesterday claimed that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim prevented three foreign leaders who were in Malaysia from meeting Mahathir.
PETALING JAYA: An aide to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has challenged Dr Mahathir Mohamad to name the foreign leaders who Anwar supposedly blocked from meeting the former prime minister.
Kamil Munim, who is the political secretary to Anwar Ibrahim in his capacity as finance minister, was responding to a podcast in which Mahathir claimed that Anwar prevented three foreign leaders from meeting him.
“Who are the leaders (and which) countries are they from?” Kamil asked in a post on X.
“Name them. If not, then (you) are lying to create a negative perception (about Anwar) and gain political sympathy.
“Lying is not good… It is a sin.”
Yesterday, Mahathir claimed in the Apa Cerita podcast that three foreign leaders who were in Malaysia had wished to meet him.
However, he alleged that Anwar had not allowed them to do so.
The 99-year-old Mahathir has served as prime minister twice, first as the leader of former ruling coalition Barisan Nasional (BN) for 22 years and later as chairman of Pakatan Harapan (PH) for 22 months after the 2018 general election.
