PKR president Anwar Ibrahim told a press conference today that he will not let the statements made by Dr Mahathir Mohamad distract him from focusing on the reform agenda.

When asked about Mahathir's statement that Malays are unable to accept him (Anwar) as the next premier, Anwar said it was Mahathir who rejected him.

"Tun Mahathir rejected me, but I am not sure about the Malays," he said.

Anwar also revealed that Mahathir is no longer a member of Pakatan Harapan.
