KUALA LUMPUR\u00a0— PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called for the rejection of what he described as the politics of deception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a posting on his Facebook page tonight, the Port Dickson Member of Parliament said politics was not just about the struggle for power but also how it would be translated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Is it to fight for the people or merely to continue with a dilapidated system?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anwar claimed that certain quarters were trying to exploit the current political situation in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In the current situation, there are people fishing in troubled waters, suddenly wanting to be a hero. But what I want to stress is — let\u2019s get back on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is not a venue for politicians to use tactical manoeuvres to grab power. Politics is about governance, matters concerning the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What are the policies to be put forward? Are they to maintain a dilapidated and corrupt administrative style that oppressed, as has happened now or before?\u201d he said in the video titled \u2018Reject Politics of Deception\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anwar did not mention any names but his posting came in the wake of a statement by former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad that several opposition leaders had nominated Parti Warisan Sabah (Warisan) president Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal as the opposition\u2019s prime minister candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Mahathir, in a statement today, said the decision to nominate Mohd Shafie, who is also Sabah Chief Minister, as the prime minister\u00a0candidate was reached at an informal meeting he had with his allies from AMANAH, DAP, and Warisan on\u00a0Thursday\u00a0(June 25).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
