MALAYSIA's jailed opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has declared support for his arch nemesis Mahathir Mohamad in his efforts to pressure Prime Minister Najib Razak to resign.

"I support the position of friends in civil society, political parties and individuals including Tun Dr Mahathir, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and others to build up strength and understanding together as articulated by the leader of the opposition recently," he said in a message from prison on Thursday.
