Attacks on Anwar’s Saudi visit are ‘all about Malay votes’ FMTNews
During his recent visit to Saudi Arabia, Anwar Ibrahim failed to meet with King Salman Abdulaziz despite announcing that a meeting had been scheduled.
However, Awang Azman Pawi of Universiti Malaya said what happened in Saudi Arabia could also be linked to Anwar’s close ties with Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. “PN is trying to paint an image that Anwar is not getting the respect of Riyadh, which is considered as the symbol of the Islamic world and also known as the guardian of Mecca,” he told FMT.
Azmi said PN would play up the lack of an audience as a sign that Anwar is not recognised as a leader of a Muslim nation. On Sunday, an aide of Anwar brushed off criticism from the opposition which attempted to paint the visit as a failure and a waste of public funds.
