KUALA LUMPUR -- Anwar Ibrahim, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's anointed successor, on Monday tried to quell rumors about a conflict within the ruling alliance that could impede his path to the job he was promised.
The 71-year-old lawmaker is due to take over from Mahathir in 2020 under a political deal which unified an opposition camp that went on to unseat former Prime Minister Najib Razak last May.
