It is due to Anwar's ingenius mind that crafted this unique unity of the 3 odd components, each bearing contrasting characteristic traits of its own....
A former leader of Malaysia's opposition Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) has accused the party of inflating membership figures to demand "political equity" in the opposition Pakatan Rakyat coalition.Former Selangor PKR secretary Mohd Nazmi Rosli said that having a large pool of members was vital in the seat negotiation process with its allies, the Democratic Action Party (DAP) and Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS)."If PKR's membership is lower than that of those parties, it cannot demand for many seats," he said, alleging that tell-tales signs emerging from the poor voter turnout during the divisional polls showed that the party does not have the 400,000 members that it claims to have.For example, he said, the Sungai Petani PKR division had boasted 3,222 members but only 202 participated in the polls."Likewise, the voter turnout in many of the divisions was barely 5% of the number of members the divisions claim to have," said Mohd Nazmi, adding that the size of the membership was vital in the negotiations for seats.He also claimed that PKR depended on the PAS machinery in the general and by-elections."This is also another sign that PKR does not really have the numbers," he said, adding that the party would find it difficult to win seats without the help of PAS.Despite that, he said, PKR still acted like it was the "boss" in the opposition coalition.In the 12th general election, PKR won 31 parliamentary seats, followed by DAP (28) and PAS (23).PKR won 42 state seats, in contrast with the 83 won by PAS and 71 by the DAP.Ruling Barisan Nasional coalition won 140 out of the 222 parliamentary seats and 307 out of the 505 state seats contested.
MR AN WAR IBRAHIM“brings the narrative that everyone wants to return to — that MALAYSIA is the land of extraordinary opportunity and possibility,
“To those MALAYSIAN whose support I have yet to earn,” he said, “I may not have won your CONFIDENDENCE but I hear your voice but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your prime minister too.”(in waiting)“moment, change has come to
even though enemies has spurred false rumors and insinuations about his background and CAN WE THE MALAYSIAN PEOPLE RISE TO THE OCCASSION WHEN THE NATION NEEDS US?
CAN MALAYSIA DEPEND ON US? 
we try to change them ,we try to chase them finally we kick them out
FEW could have anticipated the return of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in such striking fashion prior to the March 8 elections. Released from incarceration in 2004, he continued to be a voice of conscience, rebel-reformer and thorn in the side of Barisan Nasional. Yet, he remained on the margins of mainstream politics.

DSAI could well be called the motto his literary gifts, he transformed from childhood into a stirriWhat the Pakatan Rakyat need is a collection of unified charismatic leaders to go to the grounds, inspire the young, and persuade the rural Malays to another point of view- one that is in harmony with the rest of right thinking Malaysians. Once that's done, UMNO will forever lose its support and will finally undertake that long and painful journey at self reform, failing which they will never see the lights of the corridors of power ever again.
into assets — a skill DSAI learned in his 20s student days could well be called the motto of his rise. With his literary gifts, he transformed from childhood into a stirring coming-of-age tale of his political career. mobilized young people — never an ideal base, because of thin wallets — into an energetic army who in turn enlisted parents and grandparents. And even though his enemy spurred false rumors and insinuations about his background and beliefs, he has made it a symbol of his singularity and possibility the Malaysian dream , he has created a history in the malaysin politics

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
That changed after the events of March 8 and a convincing victory in the Permatang Pauh by-election in August which led to his ceremonious return to parliament as leader of the opposition, transforming him into an indelible force in the unfolding of the political future of the country.
Detractors continue to point to Anwar’s failure to take over and form the next government on Sept 16 as an example of his lack of credibility; still, while much needs to be achieved to make the opposition a viable and lasting powerhouse, most of the five states governed by Pakatan Rakyat have proved largely stable, grappling reasonably well with the legacy of the previous state governments while attempting to implement and lay the foundation for the coalition’s policies in these respective states. Two examples from Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim are his appointment of Low Siew Moi to head the Selangor State Development Corporation and his call for Universiti Teknologi Mara to open its doors, at least partially, to non-bumiputra and foreign students.
2009 will prove challenging for Anwar and Pakatan Rakyat. With the advent of a new prime minister – which has historically led to a favourable shift in political sentiment towards the government – they will have to consolidate their positions significantly in the Pakatan-led states and the Federal Territory by demonstrating powers of performance that will illustrate their commitment to the principles of accountability, transparency and openness.
The worldwide economic fallout will dominate and serve as a test for the BN government in its handling of the ramifications of the downturn and the sacrifices it is willing to make. It is an opportune time for Anwar and the Pakatan government to come up with comprehensive alternative policies as a way to introduce and fortify the virtues of the Pakatan-devised New Economic Agenda. The PR opposition has already made significant strides by introducing a shadow cabinet and it remains to be seen how it can offer rational, deliberated alternatives to government policies.
The principal challenge confronting Anwar and the PR opposition will be their efforts at initiating real, credible moves towards transcending racialist politics and committing themselves to multi-cultural politics, as emphasised by Anwar and Parti Keadilan Rakyat president Datin Seri Wan Azizah Ismail at the party’s recent national congress. They will have their work cut out to dismantle the racial conditioning that has determined the Malaysian political psyche since Independence and most significantly in the past three decades. The most immediate challenge is the Malay constituency, although the Pakatan Rakyat government has stressed that privileges enshrined in the Constitution will not be compromised.
