Zahid vows to 'bury' Anwar in Perak

Perak Umno chairperson Mohd Zahid Hamidi has vowed to make sure that opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim will not win any seat he contests in the state.

"We will make sure that he loses," he promised when met by reporters after attending the BN supreme council meeting at the Putra World Trade Centre today.

However Zahid said that he believed Anwar (right) will not contest in seats which BN had won like his seat of Bagan Datuk, but will gravitate towards Pakatan-held seats.

"Whether he or anyone else,lawan tetap lawan, (fight no matter what)," he promised.

Zahid said that Umno is not scared of Anwar's decision to lead Pakatan's fight in Perak.

"Just like we are not scared of Lim Kit Siang going to Johor," he added.

Asked about BN's chances in what was once Malaysia's premier silver producing state, Zahid is confident of a win.

"However to get two-thirds majority will require extraordinary effort," he conceded.

Yesterday, Anwar told reporters that he is set to move to a Perak seat, despite sentimental attachment to his Permatang Pauh hometown seat and protests from long-time supporters.

He said that he will explain to his loyal voters that he needs to move to Perak to spearhead Pakatan's bid to recapture the state in coming polls and not because he is abandoning them.
