Muhyiddin: Anwar has tarnished Malaysia’s good name

MUAR: Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has turned traitor when he spoke to foreign media in Singapore to tarnish the good name of Malaysia.

Umno vice-president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said it was not the first time Anwar had tarnished the image of the country and regarded his accusation that the election would be rigged as “desperate”.

He said Anwar himself used to contest in general elections under the BN ticket and was appointed a Cabinet minister and Deputy Prime Minister before he formed PKR.

“Now he is singing a different tune and I regard his statement to the foreign media in Singapore on Wednesday as an act of a traitor.

“If Malaysian general elections were rigged, he should have raised the matter a long time ago when he was a Cabinet minister,” he said after closing an agro-related seminar near Bukit Pasir yesterday.

Tajol Rosli likened the love for one’s country to the relationship between and a man and his wife.

“We love our country like we love our wife. If we quarrel, we will quarrel at home and not outside the house. We leave our domestic quarrels at home,” he said.

In KUALA LUMPUR, MCA deputy president Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy said Anwar has insulted Malaysians by using another country as a platform to run down the government.

He said Anwar who was then the Education Minister made a lot of decisions, which were detrimental to the growth of Chinese education.

“During his tenure, Anwar sent headmasters who were not well versed in Mandarin and Chinese language to run Chinese schools.

“There was not a single new Chinese school nor relocation of schools to urban areas,” he said.
