SHAH ALAM July 16 ― Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim told PKR delegates today to choose a new leader if they were so unhappy that he kept failing at becoming Malaysia’s prime minister. The PKR president said he could have become PM long ago if he were willing to conform, like Dr M & or cut a deal with people he alleged to be corrupt. He claimed to have received statutory declarations (SDs) of support from Umno lawmakers if he agreed to help get criminal & corruption charges dropped against their leaders Datuk Seri Najib Razak & Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi last year, when the govt ousted elected Pakatan Harapan (PH) administration faced a confidence crisis, but refused to kow-tow to their demands. "I did not say OK, I did not apologise. I said we will fight & face the upcoming general election.

"People kept saying that I failed and failed [to be PM]. If you want me to succeed by sucking up to those who are corrupt, find a new president,” he told the over 2,600 PKR delegates on 2nd day of party’s 3-day national congress here in JB. The Port Dickson MP claimed that he & their PH allies had rejected 15 Umno SDs, adding that two of them were from Najib and Zahid. He further claimed to have received support of 118 MPs back then as well, which would make him the Dewan Rakyat elected representative with most votes out of 222; but he said the matter ended there. In his policy speech, Anwar told PKR delegates to set aside their discontent with results of their recent party elections, those who continued to harp on it'll not receive the watikah, the highly-prized appointment letter that he as the party president has to sign, to be considered a candidate for the 15th general election due September 2023. "I will not forgive those branches  divisions, PKR youth or women’s wing & who choose to continue fighting after the party election. "If keep happening, you can be sure there will be no or won't be any watikah for you,” he said very seriously as a final warning.
