Ezam Marah Dah..! No way Anwar can make it, claims Ezam

PETALING JAYA, July 28 — There is no way Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim can become Prime Minister by Sept 16.

He doesn't even have the number of Barisan Nasional MPs crossing over, said Anwar's former protégé Ezam Mohd Nor, who left Parti Keadilan Rakyat to rejoin Umno last May.

"Setting Sept 16 for his so-called takeover of the government is just a diversion. It's not even serious," said Ezam, who meets Umno grassroots as well as fence sitters all over the country every week to expose what he really thinks of Anwar now.

"Look at (DAP chairman) Karpal Singh's statement alleging Pas of not being true to Pakatan Rakyat's struggle. There is a serious problem within the opposition.

"The cracks appeared long before, immediately after the March 8 election. What Anwar is doing is just trying to keep these parties of differing ideologies together so that he can achieve his personal dream, to become the prime minister," the former PKR Youth chief told reporters this morning.

Claiming that Anwar's aim was just a wild imagination, Ezam said he had asked his former mentor to just name those from the BN who were willing to cross over to the other side.

"Even if he wants to protect these MPs, just let me know from which states they hail from and from which parties. That's all. But Anwar has been silent on this," he added.

Last week, Anwar announced the entry of former Umno leaders from Pahang and Kedah including ex-Kuantan Umno division leader Datuk Fauzi Abdul Rahman, who was a deputy minister during Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's administration.

When asked, Ezam said he was willing to contest against Anwar in any by-election if the Umno leadership would agreed to the move.

Anwar had announced yesterday that he would contest the Kulim Bandar Baharu by-election if the election court next month calls for one.

Despite joining Umno, the party's supreme council has ruled that Ezam was not eligible to contest for any post in the party elections this December.

Dividing his time between ceramahs in kampungs and his business in Indonesia, Ezam has decided to spend more time in Jakarta in his newly found vocation.

"Don't worry I'm not leaving politics. Just expanding my role in the region."

He is co-chairman of the Jakarta-based Nusantara Foundation aimed at forging closer relations between young entrepreneurs of Malaysia and Indonesia.

His Indonesian co-chairman Sapto Waluyo affirmed that Ezam's role would enhance relations between the two sides, as both of them have had experience in exposing corruption as well as promoting good governance.
