To Bankrupt Selangor,
Anwar is right economic adviser -
Mahathir
Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad believes that Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim does not know anything about the economy.
"He is a good speaker but not about economics. If you want to bankrupt Selangor, that's the good advisor.
"Of course, you pay him RM1, you'll get RM1 worth," he told reporters after a special lecture on 'Asia and the 21st Century' at the Asia-Europe Eminent Persons Lecture Series here today.
Dr Mahathir said that Anwar, when he was in the Cabinet as finance minister, almost brought down Malaysia to its knees during the financial crisis.
"He adopted the International Monetary Fund and made the matter worse. I don't think he knows anything about (the) economy," he said when commenting on Anwar's appointment as economic advisor to the Selangor Government.
Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim announced that Anwar was appointed economic advisor to the state government, with a fixed monthly allowance of RM1, when wrapping up the debate on the state's 2010 Budget last Friday.
