KUALA LUMPUR, March 4 — PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has today confirmed that Umno had offered him the prime minister post if he joined the party to form the federal government just before last week’s political crisis.

Anwar simply wrote “Yes” on Twitter, attaching a report quoting PKR’s Setiawangsa MP Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad revealing the offer, but did not elaborated further.

Yesterday, Nik Nazmi had shared in an Instagram post that Anwar could have been appointed as prime minister if he had abandoned his Pakatan Harapan (PH) allies, and embrace Umno leaders who are facing numerous corruption and criminal charges.

“However, he refused to betray the mandate of the people simply for the sake of obtaining the premiership,” Nik Nazmi wrote.

Nik Nazmi said that matter was disclosed to him by Anwar himself.

PH had named Anwar as its prime minister candidate following the resignation of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

However, the pact threw its support behind Dr Mahathir after Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin received support from his party, Barisan Nasional and PAS to form the next government.

The move failed to convince the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, which led to Muhyiddin being sworn in as prime minister on Sunday.

After much reflection, all this started with the PH Presidential Council of which Tun M, DS Anwar, Lim KS, Lim GE and others are member. They should all take responsibility for the mess as they and only they agreed just before GE14 as candidates (the treacherous MPs that had leap-frog away) and accepting Bersatu as partner of PH and now they are gone. And most knew what character they are of.

Like in the "so-called" western countries that are "democratic" and of principled people (that we all aspired to be), they - Tun M, DS Anwar, Lim KS, Lim GE should immediately resigned to take responsibility. Anything less is an affront to the voters that have voted for PH. And worse of all, they said they are not responsible and pointing fingers at everyone else except themselves - what a disgraced, a damn lousy example you all are setting, especially those that are writing apology for them.

Now is the time for the so call young progressive members (e.g Nurul, Wan Saiful, etc) of all these political parties to stand up and take over the leading from all these old leaders that are totally bankrupt of any new ideas to lead and of no moral standing whatsoever..
