SHAH ALAM, Dec 31 — Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has alleged today that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has outright refused to work with him in any capacity, despite Pakatan Harapan (PH) stating that it is willing to cooperate with any parties to oppose Perikatan Nasional.

The Parti Pejuang Tanah Air chairman said in comparison he is more than willing to compromise in order to cooperate with Anwar, but still the PPH chairman still rejected the offer.

“Even with Bersatu out of Pakatan Harapan, we have another coalition called Pakatan Harapan Plus and we offered to work together with Pakatan Harapan. Anwar had rejected me wholeheartedly, [I] can’t even be anything, can’t even enter.

“He is the one that rejected me, not me,” he told reporters after a Selangor Pejuang event here, pointing out that Anwar had dismissed his suggestion for either him or Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal to become interim prime minister candidate.

“He insists on becoming prime minister but he cannot be the prime minister if he does have enough support,’’ Dr Mahathir added.

Dr Mahathir also chided the Opposition Leader’s for previously claiming that he had enough support to form a new government.

“How many times has he said that he has the numbers, what was the recent one? He stated that he has a strong formidable and convincing number?... Nonsense,’’ the former prime minister said.
