A former union leader has today challenged former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad to stand against his once deputy Anwar Ibrahim, who he constantly smears, in the coming general election.
“To me, Anwar has been wronged for so long, he should be defended. I suggest they (Mahathir and Anwar) compete to end the actions or wrongdoings against Anwar,” said former West Malaysia Malay Teachers' Union president Nordin Mahmood.
“Mahathir claims he has contributed much to the country, including to the Malays.
“To verity if indeed he is one who has contributed to the rakyat, especially the Malays and the country, and that he still has the support of the rakyat, Mahathir should contest against Anwar in the 13th general election,” he said during a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.
“I am confident the rakyat will be a fair judge in this contest,” added Nordin, who was also a member of the National Economic Consultation Council in the 1990s.
