IPOH: PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has no chance of ever becoming prime minister, said former PKR Youth chief Ezam Mohd Nor.
Ezam, who was Anwar’s political secretary when he was deputy prime minister, dismissed claims that Anwar had managed to convince 30 MPs to leave Barisan Nasional for Pakatan Rakyat.
»If he had the numbers today, he would be going to the Istana tonight. He just doesn’t have the numbers« EZAM MOHD NOR
“If he had the numbers today, he would be going to the Istana tonight.
“He just doesn’t have the numbers,” he told reporters after a closed-door ceramah at the Perak Umno building here yesterday.
Ezam, who left PKR last year and rejoined Umno last month, said if Anwar was really serious about forming the next government, he could have done so quietly instead of “making noise”.
“The focus should have been on strengthening the party. Instead, they (Pakatan) hold demonstrations to sidetrack the people.
“But you make noise because it’s a psychological war to bind together (a party) that is not strong. Only people who are not strong will make noise,” he added.
“The problem with Anwar is that he is self-centred. His one goal is to be prime minister at all costs and that is dangerous,” he said.
Ezam added that Perak Barisan was more likely to win the state back from Pakatan before Aug 31 than Anwar would ever be of reaching Putrajaya by Sept 16.
He said he knew this because he had friends in Pakatan and that there was a feeling of “uneasiness” among Pakatan assemblymen about the leadership and administration of the state.
