Former Umno Youth chief says Anwar Ibrahim has two choices: carry out the promised reforms or leverage his authority as prime minister to consolidate his political standing.

From the original report

The former Umno Youth chief said Anwar should be concerned about the shift in Malay votes, which swung in favour of Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN), and the prospect of this trend continuing until the 16th general election.

“If the pattern seen in Negeri Sembilan continues in Melaka, and Malay voters remain with BN-PN in the next general election, Anwar will become a former prime minister,” he said in the latest episode of his Keluar Sekejap podcast.

This is a brief of a report by another newsroom. The excerpt below is from the original.
