@RajaPetra : @anwaribrahim Many U-Turns

The fact that Anwar sued Umno for what he alleged was his ‘illegal sacking’ in 1998 and tried to get the court to rule that he is still legally an Umno member, plus he tried to return to Umno when he was released from jail in 2004, gives me the impression that he no longer feels that Umno is a kafir party or that Malaysia should be turned into an Islamic State with the Sharia and Hudud as the laws of the land.

@RajaPetra : A REALIGNMENT OF ALLIANCES #KLChronicle

Anwar is not really interested in the job of Menteri Besar of Selangor. He just wants that job to facilitate a deal with Umno and ‘give’ Selangor back to Barisan Nasional through a ‘unity government’ in return for the post of Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia.

First of all, my apologies to those who have already read what I am about to say or feel I am merely repeating myself. If you have been following Malaysia Today since it was first launched ten years ago in 2004 — soon after the March 2004 general election disaster and two weeks before Anwar Ibrahim was released from jail — then most likely you have already read what I am about to say. To those newcomers, this may be ‘news’ to you.

Let me start with why we decided to launch Malaysia Today in 2004.
