- 5 years ago
Prime Mahathir Dr Mahathir Mohamad appeared to be in a cheerful mood at a press conference in Putrajaya on Monday after chairing a Harapan presidential council meeting, with remarks that prompted laughter from the reporters present.
During the press conference, Mahathir said though Harapan had promised to stop the practice of naming political appointees for senior positions, it will continue to appoint those with links to political parties as long as they are qualified for the job.
PKR president Anwar Ibrahim, also at the press conference, was asked if he shared Mahathir's view on the matter, to which Dr Mahathir started punching the air.
Mahathir then jokingly asked reporters if they wished to see him start a fight with Anwar.
