Malaysia’s veteran politician and former leader Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad congratulated his long-time rival Anwar Ibrahim in a message on Twitter on his appointment as prime minister
The pair’s on-off feuds have dominated Malaysian politics for the past two decades. Anwar was appointed as prime minister by Malaysia’s king on Thursday after an inconclusive election.
Perikatan Nasional (PN) Chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin echoed Mahathir’s wish saying: “I would like to congratulate YAB Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who has been appointed by His Majesty the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong as the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia,” in a Twitter message on the afternoon of Friday (Nov 25).
