Anwar Ibrahim will swear as well

August 27th, 2008 by MM2H

anwar ibrahim swearingBut unlike the other swearings that got the news, Anwar Ibrahim will be sworn in tomorrow as a new member of Parliament - God willing that is.

 

Yesterday Anwar Ibrahim won the Permatang Pauh by-election with a 2/3 majority of the votes:

 

Anwar Ibrahim got 31,195 votes

66.6%

Arif Shah Omar Shah got 15,524 votes

33.2%

Hanafi Hamat got 92 votes

0.2%

 

Anwar Ibrahim now faces 3 challenges:

 

  1. staying alive
     
  2. staying out of jail and
     
  3. living up to his promise: taking over the government by forming a majority coalition at September 16th.

 

Whatever happens, we hope Malaysia will benefit.
