00:00A political analyst has described PKR MP Hassan Karim's praise for former Prime Minister

00:07Ismail Sabri Yaakob as a veiled dig at Ismail's successor, Anwar Ibrahim.

00:12National Professors' Council Fellow Azmi Hassan said the Pasir Gudang MP has been outspoken

00:18against his own party president, Anwar, particularly on the government's slow pace of reforms.

00:24Azmi pointed out that Hassan's praise for Ismail included his administration's move

00:29to distribute eco-funds to MPs, which Anwar's unity government has yet to do.

00:36He said this reflects the difference in leadership styles between Ismail and Anwar, though he

00:41acknowledged the difficulty in comparing the two given the vastly different political circumstances

00:46each faced.

00:48Two days ago, Hassan released a statement praising Ismail, Malaysia's ninth Prime Minister,

00:53saying, among other things, that the former UMNO Vice President was fair in his dealings

00:58with opposition MPs.

01:00Lao Tzu Wei of University Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia agreed with Azmi that the political

01:06realities were different then and now, saying Ismail needed the backing of the opposition

01:11to ensure stability in leading the country.

01:14He said any leader in that position would have been quick to sign a deal with the opposition

01:19and give equal allocations to maintain the government.
