Anwar, a year after freedom

16 May 2018

TTDI, May 16/Ramadan 11: I may be wrong but I don't remember Anwar Ibrahim openly disagreeing with PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad on anything since he got out of prison exactly a year ago after he and Dr M (well, more Mahathir than Anwar, actually) had led Pakatan Harapan to the trouncing of BN at the general elections on May 9.  

Until now, that is.

Anwar resonates with Bersih, says Mahathir's call for the EC to relax campaign rules bad for the Administration - The Third Force, 15 May 

You think I'm reading too much into it?

Well, blame it on paranoia. I was there in 1998 when the two giants clashed. I don't think the nation should swim in the same mud and slime again.  

Selamat berbuka puasa.

For context, read:

All must respect the EC - 16 May

Bersih: EC must stand firm against PM on campaigning by ministers- 15 May

Rethink curbs on ministers campaigning during working hours, PM urges EC - 14 May

Unfair to bar ministers and deputies to campaign in by-elections during working hours - 14 May
