KUALA LUMPUR: Anwar Ibrahim, Malaysia’s perennial opposition leader, has often been on the cusp of power, but age is catching up with him and this general election (GE15) could be his last chance to win the top job.
The 75-year-old, whose political career spans four decades and includes two prison stints, is optimistic his Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition can finally win enough seats to form a government and replace the graft-tainted ruling party.
“Things are looking good and we are cautiously confident,” he told reporters after casting his vote today.
So long the runner-up of Malaysian politics, the PKR president could be running out of time to achieve his long-held but elusive ambition of leading the Southeast Asian nation.
