KUALA LUMPUR - Former Rural Development Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa expressed his disappointment with former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad for using the foreign media to attack the current Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
Annuar, who is also a member of Umno Supreme Council, said Dr Mahathir violated his own principles as when he was in power, Dr Mahathir prevented any Cabinet members from using international media to taint the country’s image.
“When I was in the cabinet, Dr Mahathir often expressed his unhappiness with certain quarters who used the foreign media; at that time it was Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, .
“I’m a bit confused as a minister who has served during his (Dr Mahathir) time. I find it strange that Dr Mahathir did the things that he would never do when he was the Prime Minister,” he said at a media conference here today.
The Ketereh Member of Parliament said the former Umno President has the right to speak up if he felt uneasy with Najib’s current administration.

“We can be disappointed but we should not stop him from voicing his opinion.
“He is known as a statesman and he deserves respect and we should not be impolite to the person who has sacrificed so many things for our country.”
According to Annuar, he was confident that with Najib’s leadership, the government would manage to solve all issues raised by Dr Mahathir.
“If the issues raised by Dr Mahathir are still unresolved, then we have to give an answer.
“If the issues raised are true, then we should take it as a lesson and fix it.” - http://www.therakyatpost.com/
