Mahathir sacked Anwar to prevent Malaysia having 'gay' PM
Fri Sep 9, 4:24 AM ET
KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) - Former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad has said he was forced to sack his one-time protege Anwar Ibrahim to prevent mainly-Muslim Malaysia getting a homosexual leader.
Mahathir defended his actions and maintained that Anwar was guilty of sodomy, a crime in Malaysia. Anwar has always denied the claims and insisted he was the victim of a conspiracy to blacken his name.
"In our society, sodomy is not acceptable. Of course, among some media people even, they are gay. They don't like my taking action against a person for the kind of things that they indulge in. So I became a bad guy because of that," he told reporters.
"But I cannot have a person who is like that in my cabinet who may succeed and become the prime minister. Imagine having a gay prime minister. Nobody would be safe," he said.
