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.
