Dr M's 'goalkeeper' remark a compliment, says Pandikar


Being called a government goalkeeper by former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad is a "compliment", an amused Dewan Rakyat speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia said today.
"Well, I take it as a compliment, because he was my former boss," Pandikar said, a light smile on his face.

He immediately followed this by asking: "Which side is Mahathir on now?
"He is with the opposition, he wants to topple the government.
"I am not (taking sides). I want to protect the integrity of Parliament," Pandikar told a press conference in the House reception room today.
He added that he was not concerned about Mahathir's remarks, saying that it was the latter's personal opinion.
Mahathir yesterday called Pandikar the "government's goalkeeper", accusing the speaker of blocking motions and debates against the government.
