At last, Anwar Ibrahim, the leader of the Pakatan Harapan alliance is chosen to lead the new government in Malaysia. He will beAnwar, Malaysia’s prodigal son, has travelled a long road to freedom amid a massive political struggle that has lasted decades. Now he is finally at the gates of Putrajaya and has one last hurdle to overcome.

That was in 1997. Zahid Hamidi was the force in the Umno youths league and he forged a strong alliance with Anwar only to abandon the latter when things went awry for the reformasi leader. Despite being demoted, beaten in jail with a swollen eye, and ‘left to die,’ to quote Anwar, he had the support of large segments of the Malay community, which almost got Mahathir into trouble in the 1999 elections that saw the entry into politics of Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, the country’s first female deputy prime minister in 2018.

In 2018, with Anwar in jail, Mahathir became the head of the Pakatan Harapan and he led Anwar’s formation to victory against Najib. While he was successful in breaking the Umno in the Malay belt, allowing the PAS to win a massive 49 seats in the November 19 elections, he has yet to stop Anwar.
