PH, BN alliance offers Malaysia its best chance to build back - superadmin - 11-22-2022 From Ibrahim M Ahmad A long wait spanning two dozen years may be about to end as Anwar Ibrahim stands on the cusp of becoming Malaysia’s 10th prime minister.

That time had not yet come when Anwar, leader of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition that won the highest number of seats at the 15th general election (GE15), spoke to the press early this morning. Speaking with extreme caution, Anwar announced his intention to form a government. “We have entered into an understanding. What I’m saying is we now have the majority to form a government,” Anwar told the press. He, however, steadfastly refused to “entertain rumours” that the alliance would include Barisan Nasional (BN).
