5月9日,正好是马来西亚希盟政府执政一周年,现任首相敦马哈迪(Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad)重申未来将会退位,交棒公正党主席安华(Dato’ Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim)。 据各家媒体报导,敦马配合希盟政府执政一周年,接受访问表示,“已承诺会下台交棒给安华,这是几乎成定局。“ 他继续说道,该继承者“不必遵从我的指示,或者根据我的方式执政,他可以按照他认为最好的方式来做,所以他并没有任何的权利决定以后的事。” 马哈迪表明,目前的责任是尽可能带领国家上轨道,好让以后的继承者能接手。 马哈迪也在访问中给希盟评5分,理由是因为内阁人员皆为新人,对于如何执政还没太熟悉。 马哈迪也说,“他们会向我讨教,而且他们都能很快上手。” 对于目前的内阁,他认为无需该组,因为内阁成员已有一年的经验,希望他们持续进步。 当问及希盟政府一年所达到的成就,马哈迪表示在执政一年期间,希盟政府也进行肃贪,均依法调查;成功减少东铁计划的的成本,省下逾210亿令吉;也解决大马城的问题。 此外,对于马国长久难以解决之课题—种族课题,马哈迪也有他的看法。 他认为种族问题会一直存在的原因在于,种族之间在意的还是自己种族的权力权益,虽说一直高谈不同种族之间团结,当回到各自的权益时,不同种族之间仍在意的还是自己的权益。而部长们为了得到自己种族的支持,一定会在国会中提及种族课题。 “我们能做的仅仅是提供(各个种族)最基本的满足,但我们没办法无时无刻汤每个种族都满意,这是不可能的。”马哈迪说。 会兑现承诺,如期交棒安华 据《东方日报》报道,马哈迪与安华长达20年的恩怨情仇,早已成为马国人茶馀饭后的话题,但两人是否能真的一笑泯恩仇,许多人还是心存怀疑。 虽然马哈迪再次拜相之后,已经多次重申自己将会如期交棒,但其阻力也不小,尤其是土著团结党内部,不少基层领袖在代表大会上,一再劝告马哈迪,至少需完成一届5年的任期。 北方大学教授莫哈末阿兹祖丁日前接受《东方日报》访问时表示,虽然马哈迪并没定下明确的日期何时交棒,但普遍相信马哈迪会在明年卸下首相职。 他表示,虽然安华不是内阁成员,但已经成为希盟政府的一部,他不时探访马哈迪的办公室,对国家政策进行交流,也反映出两人成熟的关系。 以下视频来源:马来西亚星洲百格新闻
