Oh Anwar, what did you do?
In a move that echoes his failed 2008 bid, perennial PM wannabe Anwar Ibrahim has made a fresh grab for Putrajaya. He’s announced he has majority support of the Dewan Rakyat, causing our newsfeeds to be bombarded with related news and the stock market to tumble. Are Anwar’s claims true this time? Time will tell.
Keeping his cool, current (and possibly outgoing?) PM Muhyiddin Yassin has meanwhile announced more financial aid. And in other news, yet another Umno leader has been infected with Covid-19 while campaigning in Sabah while several candidates have been quarantined; and, our infection numbers have hit the triple-digit realm once again with the vast majority happening in, you guessed it, Sabah.
