KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s continuing attacks on “corrupt elites”, including former premier Mahathir Mohamad and former finance minister Daim Zainuddin, are giving him a chance to not just settle old scores, but also secure his position.
Datuk Seri Anwar has been sued for defamation by Tun Dr Mahathir for claiming that the 97-year-old enriched himself and his family while in office. Meanwhile, Tun Daim is being investigated by the anti-graft agency after being named in the Pandora Papers for having offshore accounts, with Mr Anwar saying that politicians should take a firm stand against the “hundreds of billions” of ringgit being taken out of the country.
