LET me first congratulate Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for his appointment as Malaysia’s 10th Prime Minister (PM).
On a scale of 1 to 10, the number 10 denotes excellence, perfection, the highest aspiration or achievement, or most commonly an A+. It is a fitting crowning glory for Anwar who has aspired that top position for 24 years. Conversely 1 can also denote the same depending on calibration.
Well, 65 years since Malaysia transition from colonial to self-rule, the country has self-inflicted itself into a deeply divided and polarised nation, and fast heading towards an independent failed state.
Will Anwar become a Bapa Reformasi (father of reformation) – his rallying call since he was sacked from government and jailed 10 years in between?
Will he rise up, re-unite and reverse the trend to make Malaysia a prosperous developed nation, the likes of a roaring tiger of the 1980s and 1990s? Will Malaysians once again re-live the spirit of unity and togetherness as one nation one people like in 1957?
