Anwar laughs off blame over Menara Umno mishap
Former deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim has laughed off suggestions by an Umno leader that the PKR de facto leader was somehow responsible for the Penang Umno building mishap last week.
When asked on the allegation by Penang Umno chief Zainal Abidin Osman today, Anwar made light of the matter, joking that “as always, they put the blame on me”.
"Blame me for the destruction of the building. Even if there is election in Umno, it is also Anwar's fault.”
Zainal Abidin had asserted that Anwar is the “most qualified” to answer questions regarding Menara Umno, as the latter was Penang Umno chief when a special commencement of work order was issued before building plans were submitted.
"He (Anwar) knows everything. We merely inherited this building and at that time, we did not have any positions," Zainal Abidin was quoted to have said.
