      The men who will not be prime minister

      Francis Paul SiahPublished: Jul 30, 2019 10:24 PM | Updated: Jul 30, 2019 10:30 PM

      COMMENT | First, let me qualify that when I talk about the men who will never be prime minister, I’m not discounting that women will never make it to the top executive post in Malaysia.

      It is a fact that so far, no woman has ever expressed their ambition to be prime minister, at least not publicly.

      The closest is probably Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail who almost became prime minister on the night of May 9 last year.

      But she wisely stuck to the Pakatan Harapan agreement for Dr Mahathir Mohamad to be the interim prime minister after the historic electoral victory.

      Wan Azizah (left in photo) is the current deputy prime minister, but we all know that she harbours no ambition to be the premier.

      She has repeatedly declared that she would leave the cabinet once her husband, Anwar Ibrahim, succeeds Mahathir...

      Even Mahathir has time for party matters, reminds Wan Azizah
