Dr M hated it when Anwar spoke to foreign media, says Umno man

Umno Supreme Council member Tan Sri Annuar Musa today accused Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad of not practising what he preached when the latter criticised Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in a New York Times article. – The Malaysian Insider pic by Afif Abd Halim, JUmno Supreme Council member Tan Sri Annuar Musa today said Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad used to hate it when his then deputy Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim spoke to the foreign media about the nation's affairs, a day after the former prime minister himself aired his grouses against Datuk Seri Najib Razak via aNew York Times interview.

Annuar said Dr Mahathir was doing the same thing he hated in criticising Najib in the foreign media.

"This is something that he himself did not like back then," he said.

“When I was in his cabinet, he used to say how much he disliked some parties, Anwar at that time, using the foreign media.

"I am a little confused as a minister who served under him, that he is not practising what he preached," he told reporters at the Mara headquarters today.
