KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters): Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said on Thursday (Feb 6) he was ready to wait for six more months beyond the initially agreed May deadline to take over as prime minister from Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, and that he had enough support in Parliament to do so.
Dr Mahathir led the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition to a stunning victory in a general election in May 2018, joining hands with former enemies including Anwar to bring down Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who is facing multiple charges of corruption mostly linked to the looting of sovereign fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
