Anwar threat 'sheer speculation'

9 May, 2008

KUALA LUMPUR: The purported threat by Parti Keadilan Rakyat's de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to form the next federal government should be regarded as mere speculation, Umno vice-president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Mohd Yassin said.

"It is sheer speculation. It is probably part of a psy-war, an initiative on Anwar's part," he said after launching Metaltech Malaysia 2008 in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

He was commenting on Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's remark not to take Anwar's threat lightly.

Muhyiddin said Barisan Nasional component parties in the recent supreme council meeting gave their commitment that their elected representatives would not cross over to Pakatan Rakyat.
