Dr Mahathir Mohamad said he had wanted to see Anwar Ibrahim to thank the jailed former Opposition leader for supporting his PM candidacy. I think the real reason the meeting didn't happen is because Anwar himself didn't want Mahathir as a visitor. As Dr MiM suggests here, Anwar wouldn't want to be seen as subservient to Mahathir. Anwar would make sure he has total control over the outcome of any meeting with Mahathir. Anwar fully realises that Mahathir does not have any bargaining power here.
The official reason, meanwhile, is simply that Mahathir didn't write in to the authorities to request visiting rights. Even YB Nurul Izzah, Anwar's daughter, has confirmed it, h e r e and you could see she wasn't particularly upset about the whole incident.
YB Salleh Said Keruak told Mahathir even a convict's wife needs to formally apply to visit. "There are laws and procedures. As the Pakatan Harapan's PM-candidate, he should be the first to lead by example and not abuse his power or break the law. By doing so, he's only teaching the Malaysian people that if you are someone you don't have to abide by the law." (Perdana Menteri pun perlu mengikut undang-undang).
Salam Dato Rocky.

Kalau dah begitu Dato... mengapa RM2.6 Billion boleh masuk akaun peribadi Najib dan isteri beliau Rosmah, masuk RM2 Juta?
Undang-undang perbankan apakah yang digunakan-pakai untuk menghalalkan kemasukan wang dari sumber yang dicurigai itu dalam jumlah yang amat besar itu?
Yang saya pelik... ketika saya membuat pengeluaran kontra RM60k, dari akaun peribadi saya di Maybank untuk dipindahkan ke akaun ASB saya sendiri... saya diminta isi borang pengistiharaan bahawa wang itu adalah dari sumber yang 'bersih'. Pada hal, wang itu jelas milik saya dan perpindahan itu hanya ibarat keluar poket kiri, masuk poket kanan. Urusan perpindahan itu pula dibuat di Maybank, dimana akaun saya dibuka sekitar 1990an.
Maka jelas, Najib sebagai PM TIDAK perlu ikut undang-undang. Cara dia guna pesawat kerajaan juga nampak tak berapa betul... antara kerja & kepentingan peribadi/keluarga.

What....
Perdana Menteri pun perlu mengikut undang-undang?
Have you told the incumbent, the same guy who stole US$4.5 billion from us, in an extremely detailed forensic trail known globally?
Hee hee...
I guess you're planning to sync your final retirement with his, eh Latuk?
My guess is also, he'll retire with more : )
