DR MAHATHIR: ANWAR WAS NOT AT ALL POPULAR

Is Anwar Ibrahim unpopular? Unfortunately, the answer is no. Why? Because a lot of people especially media and cyber space that were nerds out the world or in Malaysia, they all tell the same story. Everyone knew exactly how popular Anwar Ibrahim is.

Is Dr Mahathir popular? The answer is positive. Why? Because he was in power for 22 years and used ISA for Operasi Ladang and close down Sin Chew Daily and the Star. Now, he pegs to use Anwar Ibrahim unpopular story and pressing Abdullah to step down as UMNO Presiden and Prime Minister to gain popularity again. Everyone too knew exactly how popular Dr Mahathir is.
It is reported that Tun Dr Mahathir said the general election results do not reflect PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim’s popularity. On the contrary, he said Anwar was not at all popular.

“He didn’t get this huge majority that you mentioned. People didn’t like him. It's because people were unhappy with Barisan and Umno. The polls were not a test of the opposition. It's not because Anwar is popular.

“In 1999, (even) with the black eye and all, he only won five seats. He had to suffer a black eye for five seats. In 2004, he had only one. He is not popular,” he insisted.

Anwar Ibrahim’s political ban expires on April 15. There have been strong rumours that he would make a bid for Parliament soon and encourage defections from Barisan MPs to form the next federal government.

On the other hand, former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad was reported that he has advised his hand picked successor Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to step down now before Umno loses support further or worse - face a no-confidence vote in Parliament.

He said stepping down now would be for Abdullah’s “own good” as it would avoid him being attacked during the Umno general assembly which would also coincide with party polls.

In fact the result of recenT general election shown that UMNO still the winner but not their component parti MCA, Gerakan and MIC.

Dr Mahathir, Anwar Ibrahim dan Abdullah, all of them are the popular figure either internationally or locally. everybody knew about them locally.
