Malaysia "ready for change," Malaysia's Anwar says
Malaysia's former deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim took his political comeback to the international media stage Thursday and said Malaysia is ready for a change.
In an interview with the BBC, Anwar said he has no choice but to return to politics.
"I think we are ready for a change," he said.
"Malaysia has lost its competitiveness. Corruption is endemic, far worse than before," and there are racial tensions, Anwar said.
He was the heir-apparent to former leader Mahathir Mohamad until 1998, when he was sacked after facing sodomy and corruption charges that landed him in jail for six years.
Anwar's sodomy conviction has been overturned but the corruption verdict still stands, barring him from standing for public office until April 2008.
Malaysia must go to the polls by 2009 but the opposition is preparing for an early election which some members say could come as soon as October, effectively preventing Anwar from taking part.
Still, officials in his political party said Sunday he will run for president of the party, Keadilan, the opposition People's Justice Party formally run by his wife Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi replaced Mahathir in 2003 but Anwar said the new leader "has inherited a system and he does not seem to want to change the system."
The Barisan Nasional coalition has ruled Malaysia for almost half a century.
Anwar called Abdullah "a very decent, placid man" but said "the corrupt system is very much in place", the media is not free, and many judicial decisions are compromised.
Anwar has made similar accusations over the past year since switching his focus back to the political scene after leading a nomadic existence with stints lecturing in Britain, the US and Australia after his release from prison in September 2004.
He is also scheduled to be interviewed on the Al Jazeera television network on March 28.
Anwar filed a libel suit early last year against Mahathir after the former prime minister said he could not allow Anwar to become prime minister because Anwar was a homosexual.
In the BBC interview, Anwar said Mahathir -- "the king, the master, the maestro" -- had felt threatened by him.
Now, Mahathir is "old, very bitter about things," Anwar said

tunku : so the dog barks again,well mr sodomy, ooops mr anwar we are always ready to change, but if the change is you as the prime minister, we are ready to go back 30 years than having you as PM.This is all well orchestrated by mr kayjay and anwar, see his words for pak lah, very decent,placid man.he only attacks najib and he really planning to come back, maybe to take najib's position.anwar, you said that Tun Mahathir is old but still you cant win over him, because his accusation towards you is proven, yours yet to be prove.anwar,anwar even your party members don't trust you.by the way you said when you were in prison that someone(the government) injected you with hiv virus, how come you're still alive???? or you have found the antivirus.al jazeera seems to have pity for gays.
