PETALING JAYA – Pakatan Harapan (PH) de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said ousted prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak panicked after the General Elections in 2013 and wanted to finish him off.
Anwar led the Pakatan Rakyat in winning popular vote against Barisan Nasional (BN) but failed to unseat the ruling coalition then.
“I never supported him, I had strong views against him and he took it very personally back then, which is why he wanted to finish me off,” Anwar was quoted by The Guardian as saying in an article published yesterday.
Using the judiciary, Najib ensured that Anwar was once again tried for sodomy, the report said. Anwar was back behind bars in 2015.
“If the 2013 elections had been free and fair, we would have won and I would not be in jail,” he was quoted as saying.
“But after you have experienced jail for a long time, after so many years, you don’t really have that bitterness.
I’m not pretending to be this great humanitarian, merciful person, but honestly, I didn’t feel bitter. In the end, you philosophise and just accept the unfolding drama.”
