GEORGE TOWN: "Contest in the next general election first."
This was Opposition leader Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail's response when asked on Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Seri Salleh Said Keruak's dare to Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to lead the Opposition pact.
"It is up to you (reporters) to speculate on the matter.
"It is the fasting month...I don't want to comment," she further added.
Salleh had dared the former prime minister to oppose Barisan Nasional openly as an Opposition politician instead of hiding behind a so-called non-political or non-partisan movement.
Dr Wan Azizah was met after visiting Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Bashah Md Hanipah at the Penang Hospital here.
