KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia: Malaysia's former deputy leader Anwar Ibrahim says his political foes are trying to portray him as an "American agent" because of his friendly ties with scandal-plagued World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz.
Ruling party politicians and government-linked media have demanded in recent days that Anwar explain whether he helped Wolfowitz's girlfriend, Shaha Riza, become a board member of the Foundation for the Future, an international pro-democracy group that Anwar chairs.
"They want to portray me as an American agent," Anwar, a leading opposition figure, told reporters late Monday. "They go on this (character) assassination attack."
The issue surfaced when Malaysia's New Straits Times newspaper reported last week that Anwar wrote a letter in October to Robin Cleveland, a close Wolfowitz adviser, to have Riza transferred from the U.S. State Department to the foundation.
