Anwar is ready to form the Government. A reality or just a fantasy? (Malaysiakini)

As reported by Malaysiakini, Anwar Ibrahim told a 20,000 strong rally that he has the numbers to form the government tomorrow. However, he wants to meet Abdullah Badawi regarding a smooth transition before proceeding further.

Here's an excerpt from Malaysiakini

"Tonight on the eve of Malaysia Day, we are ready to form the government tomorrow," he said to loud cheers from the jubilant crowd.

"We have the numbers to defeat BN," he said. "Tomorrow is D-day, we are ready to form the government."

According to him, Pakatan Rakyat has submitted a letter to Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi today seeking a meeting for a smooth transition of power.

"Tomorrow, we are ready. But the best time, I tell you, is when we have met the prime minister. A peaceful transition is paramount," he added, indicating that there will be no change of government tomorrow as he had promised earlier.

Whether or not this is true we shall find out in the coming days.
