Earlier, PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said that even though he will not agree to Dr Mahathir being prime minister again for six months if PH forms the Federal government, he is “open” to giving the former PM an advisory role in a the cabinet
“They talk about a senior minister (or a) minister-mentor a la Lee Kuan Yew. I’m open to a discussion,” Anwar told a Singapore broadcaster.
Dr Mahathir said that no one would listen to his advice.
“Whenever I advise a prime minister (Abdullah Badawi, Najib Razak or Muhyiddin Yassin), they never take my advice,” he explained to Sin Chew Daily.

“A prime minister should not have to say ‘I got my legacy from Tun’,” Dr Mahathir said.
