PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim said he is likely to retire from politics if Pakatan Rakyat does not take over in the next general election.
In an interview with Financial Times published yesterday, the man touted as the prime minister-in-waiting said that he may “return to teaching” if Pakatan tanks at the polls.
“We present our manifesto, our policies, and of course, if I get a mandate, I continue, otherwise I think I'll go back to teaching,” he was quoted as saying.
The London-based newspaper also quoted Anwar as admitting that the 13th general election will “probably” be his last shot at becoming prime minister.
All the same, the daily which is circulated internationally noted that Anwar, 65, appears “tired” for someone who is looking at his best shot to govern the country.
Anwar had previously been reported to have said that he is confident that the next general election will see a change of government.
