PELANGAI BY-ELECTION | The government is "chaotic" because Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim leads the country "part-time", said Pahang Perikatan Nasional chairperson Saifuddin Abdullah.
The premier's full-time job is as a "lecturer", he said cynically.
"We have a premier, who some say is half prime minister and half finance minister.
"He even does the finance minister role 'part-time'. What does he do full-time? Lecturing, talking," Saifuddin (above) told a crowd at a ceramah in Bentong today.
"As Kedah Menteri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Noor said, he (Anwar) lies whenever he opens his mouth, but nowadays, he even lies with his mouth closed," he added.
The former foreign minister also expressed concern about the remarks Anwar makes on the global stage.
"I'm a former foreign minister, and (when) I followed the prime minister's speech, I got nervous. I wonder if he thinks before he speaks, as if he's planning to change the country's foreign policy.
"Recently, at the United Nations General Assembly, he spoke about the Russian ‘invasion’ of Ukraine and called for a resolution to the crisis.
"There are reasons why we (foreign) ministers don't use strong words, and we are careful with our words when it comes to international relations. But in his speech, he (Anwar) condemned Russia, and we (PN) have never done that," Saifuddin said.
