Anwar was significantly evasive when asked by reporters whether he has forgiven Mahathir. I suspect his nifty tap-dancing, a specialty of his in saying neither this nor that, wakakaka, has been a result of his daughter's sharp reminder that Mahathir ought to apologize first.
The Olde Man has been equally evasive in not doing so, especially so when he desperately wants Anwar's cooperation. Mahathir has even avoided committing himself to a Pribumi government freeing Anwar, which effectively means he won't free Anwar - for more, see my post Will Mahathir free Anwar?

was that 'tuak' in a Sarawakian long-house? was that why the two were laughing away? wakakaka |

Nurul Huda's timely reminder to all and sundry has also dawned on her father, who was initially rapturous about Mahathir's appearance in court to support Anwar but is now having a rethink, wakakaka ... because Nurul Nuha's words have been a sweet reminder to her dad of the correct priorities in political life.

And socio-political activist Dr Kua Kia Soong has also cautioned Anwar not to be so hard up in giving Mahathir what the latter wants without a proper apology; additionally Dr Kua also wants Mahathir to apologize for a host of other issues - for more see my post Should Mahathir apologize to Anwar?

The reality is Mahathir and Anwar hate each other, and have come together recently for different objectives. Mahathir wants Anwar to help him marshal Pakatan behind his Pribumi against Najib so his son Mukhriz can be PM one day, while Anwar is grateful and desperate for any attention in his current dire circumstances, and wishes with those attention he will shortly be free to continue his amazing political career.
While Mahathir has withheld his commitment to freeing Anwar (meaning he has no intention of doing so), Anwar's unsurprising rashness has been smartly moderated by Nurul Nuha's timely words thus we now see Anwar's deftness again in his evasive answers to those who repetitively asked him whether he has forgiven Mahathir (meaning he hasn't unless that old fogey apologises first, wakakaka).
Mahathir can find consolation in Maria Chin Abdullah's advice for all to forgive Mahathir. Maria Chin Abdullah has been a forgiving type - she even called a rebellious ill-disciplined ex air force officer a hero - what a bloody joke.
