2005-02-08 Is Anwar Ibrahim UMNO's prodigal son or a Trojan horse in its midst?

Into this equation comes the man who Pak Lah believes can put his enemies down: Dato' Seri Anwar. So much of what he said before his arrest, imprisonment, humiliation has come to pass. UMNO fears him for what he represents. It does not want him in the party, but is afraid of him outside, especially as he now wants to turn the disorganised opposition parties into a coalition to meet the BN head on. He is now in residence at St Antony's College, Oxford, writing a book of his experiences in prison and his thoughts of the future. Though he has ruled out returning to UMNO, and the general assembly precluded that last September, he is still the hero of the rank and file. He does not miss a chance to make that known. He turned up at Pak Lah's Open House in Kepala Batas, the latter's hometown, in what now appears to be more than what it is: a courtesy call on the Aidil fitri celebrations.

2005-01-29 Anwar Ibrahim at Oxford menaces UMNO

The political convulsions he created in UMNO after his dismissal in 1998 turned its leaders into zombies, unable and unwilling to act for fear of what he could do. The UMNO general assembly in September a fortnight after his unexpected release last year from prison passed a resolution he would never ever be re-admitted into the party. Despite it, he was the star of the assembly. Officially, he did not exist, even attacked, but in the corridors and the cofee shops, it was he who dominated conversation. Nothing has changed since. When he turned up at Pak Lah's Hari Raya Open House in his constituency, the credit was his, especially when Pak Lah did not return the compliment.
