Dr M sees no reason for Kuan Yew to meet him
KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad does not see any reason why Singapore’s Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew would want to see him.
Dr Mahathir said this when asked by reporters on Thursday on the possibility of him meeting Lee, who is currently in the country on an eight-day visit.
“I don’t see why he would request to see me, I am a nobody,” he told reporters when pressed further what if there was a request from Lee to see him.
Dr Mahathir met reporters after launching Sapura Crest Petroleum Berhad’s new state of the art Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) called the Thypoon, which is capable of deep-water operations, during the Oil and Gas Asia 2009 Exhibition, at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, here.
The former premier was also asked to comment on the meeting between Lee and the opposition leaders, and the advice he gave to them.
“Lee Kuan Yew has much experience. Our politicians know nothing. That is why we have to learn from Singapore. Singapore is a great country, they invest so much money,” he said.
On the third bridge issue, Dr Mahathir said: “If we give sand, then we can get the bridge.” - Bernama
