Many believe that the handover of power to Anwar Ibrahim will be expedited if PPBM's dominance is shattered following the defeat of its candidate in Tanjung Piai.

With the compromise from all PH components, the most likely handover time will be three years or probably longer, giving PPBM enough time to expand its political influences.

In the Malaysian version of "Hamlet", if Anwar is Prince Hamlet, then Mahathir must have been the King, and Hisham, who else but Polonius!

The differences between Mahathir and Anwar are more than just the love-hate relationship between the two men, but also the confrontation of their diverging political faiths.

Any attempt to exert the slightest pressure on Mahathir will most positively backfire.

Anwar says he will take over as the country's eighth prime minister around May 2020 although he is not "too petty about the exact month."

We can't tell whether Anwar is one we can fully trust, but at least he deserves a chance to prove that he is different.

Despite the fact Mahathir has all the powers in his hands, PKR and DAP with their combined strength of 92 seats still have the biggest say. Even the most indecisive party should know which side to stand on.

The erstwhile opposition leaders who were critical about Mahathir in the past, have become our cabinet ministers waxing lyrical about their beloved prime minister today. At least, by comparison, Anwar Ibrahim is more of a man of principle.

A source close to Anwar says he has not received any notice from the police to give his statement over the sex video scandal.
