“The National Front is in turmoil, with enemies from within and attacks from outside,” Anwar said. “If the elections had been free and fair, the opposition would be in power, not the National Front.”
The National Front has run the government since independence in 1957, and an opposition leadership was unthinkable until this year.
Most of those at Anwar’s rally were Malays, who heard him talk about subjects that touch their daily lives, including inflation, which is expected to top 5 percent this year following the hike in fuel prices.
“Prices of everything are soaring. We cannot leave the situation to these people. We say now, no more chances, time is up, you get out!” Anwar said.
“We will fight. When we take over the country, the first thing we will do is to bring down the price of fuel,” he said.
