KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's veteran politician and former leader Mahathir Mohamad on Friday congratulated his longtime rival Anwar Ibrahim in a message on Twitter on his appointment as prime minister.

The pair's on-off feuds have dominated Malaysian politics for the past two decades. Anwar was appointed as premier by Malaysia's king on Thursday after an inconclusive election.

Saya ucap tahniah kepada Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim @anwaribrahim di atas pelantikan sebagai Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang ke-10. Selamat maju jaya. DR MAHATHIR BIN MOHAMAD 25 November 2022
— Dr Mahathir Mohamad (@chedetofficial) November 25, 2022
