KUALA LUMPUR: It is Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who needs the opposition’s support in his attacks against Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, and not the other way around.
Opposition leader and PKR president Datuk Seri Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said Dr Mahathir did not have the numbers in his efforts to topple Najib.
“It is he who needs our support and not the other way round. In fact, how many members of parliament does he have? He is the one who needs us,” she told a press conference at the Parliament lobby yesterday.
Wan Azizah also described the Dr Mahathir-initiated “declaration” to demand for Najib’s ouster as a “recognition” of the opposition’s main agenda.
“The signing of the document does not mean that the opposition has strayed from its objective, which is to free Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim from prison. However, it is a recognition and acceptance of the party’s main agenda.”
Wan Azizah, who was not present to sign the document on Friday, however refused to comment on her absence.
