00:06 shake their head and realise that he is talking as a desperate politician.

00:11 Political analyst James Chin is dismissing Dr Mahathir Mohamad's challenge to Prime

00:15 Minister Anwar Ibrahim to dissolve parliament as a desperate attempt to stay relevant.

00:22 Chin said it was another move by the former Prime Minister to remain in the spotlight

00:26 despite not being an elected representative.

00:31 The best thing for Anwar and the rest of Malaysia, everybody is to ignore Mahathir.

00:37 Meanwhile Azmi Hassan of Akademi Nusantara also expected Anwar to ignore Mahathir's

00:42 baseless challenge, which he attributed to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's

00:46 probe against his son Mirsan.

00:49 Azmi said Mahathir likely knows that Anwar will not be swayed by this pressure.

00:55 Yesterday Mahathir dared Anwar to call for an election to test his support among Malaysians.

01:01 He is currently the unofficial advisor to the four state governments led by PAS, dubbed

01:06 the SG4.
