“Old man” Dr Mahathir Mohamed should just stay at home and keep quiet, said Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim today.
“This old man, he hasn’t stopped yet? That is enough-lah. He (and his family) is already very rich,” he told more than 1,000 people at the Batu PKR Chinese New Year open house event in Kuala Lumpur.
“He should stay at home quietly and take care of his grandchildren,” sniped Anwar (left)at his former mentor.
Speaking at the first of a planned five-constituency Chinese New Year open house celebrations, the de facto PKR leader also dismissed and ridiculed Mahathir’s insinuations that he (Anwar) was “close” to Israel.
“He said I am close to Israel. But before this he said I was close to the Chinese and will sell the country to the Chinese if I become PM.
“Dey ane (hey brother), which one is it?
“Recently I went to a ponggal celebration. I wore the Indian hat. Like MGR (the late Indian movie idol). After this, is he going to say I am close to the Indians?” the Permatang Pauh MP hit out.

Anwar was commenting on a recent slew of caustic remarks made by Mahathir, labeling him as being an Israeli stooge.
His speech was greeted with cheers and shouts from the mainly Chinese crowd who had welcomed him with a lion dance display earlier.
Anwar also led a yee sang ceremony joined by leaders of PKR and other Pakatan component parties.
After Batu, the opposition leader made a short stop at a Chinese temple in Wangsa Maju, for another Chinese New Year event.
Greeted warmly by a 1,000-plus crowd, predominantly made up of Malaysians of Chinese descent, Anwar was treated to another lion dance performance and yee sang ceremony.
