PETALING JAYA: The transition plan with Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is a done deal, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. The PKR president said he had no doubt that the transition will go according to plan, following his weekly private meetings with the Prime Minister. "He (Dr Mahathir) has been very genuine and frank … The discussion has not only been frank but intimate. However, the 93-year-old Dr Mahathir has repeatedly said that he would abide by his promise to hand over the premiership to Anwar. Last February, Anwar said he expected to be prime minister in no more than two years' time, adding that Dr Mahathir must be given enough space to govern effectively during "very difficult and trying times".
