“I will be taking a step back and have named Tun Mahathir as our candidate for Prime Minister so that we can avoid the country being further dragged into this power struggle and into an old system which has been rejected by the people.”

As the chaos rolled into an unforeseeable avalanche for the past week, Anwar stood by his stance to prioritise what our country truly needs by looking at the bigger picture, instead of his personal agenda.
