Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim has been forced onto the back foot as a video surfaced of his previous involvement in ‘racist’ courses conducted by the National Civics Bureau or Biro Tata Negara (BTN).
Anwar, who now leads the opposition Pakatan Rakyat coalition, admitted he had made the remarks but said he had done so then as an Umno leader.
“I will defend my position (because) that was the position then as Umno vice-president or deputy president,” he told reporters at the Parliament lobby today.
“I was asked to speak at some of the sessions all the time when I was a minister…but later on we revised (the content) by (bringing in) issues of Islamic values, ethics and moral principles (and getting away) from the racist agenda.”
You should read the whole article so that I won’t be accused of “selectiveness”. Read it here.
Not easy to switch to the “other” side when your history is much related to the earlier side.
