MALAYSIA: New hurdle for Anwar Ibrahim's comeback
Updated
Malaysia's former deputy prime minister, Anwar Ibrahim, has hit another hurdle on his path to making a political comeback. This time, the problem comes from within his own party, with accusations he's interfered in the nominations for this weekend's party polls. Anwar Ibrahim was barred from public office until 2008 because of a corruption conviction, following what many said was a highly irregular court trial. Now members of his own Keadilan party are saying that rules him out of the contest for the party presidency this weekend.
