COMMENT | Early this year, I met the late Haris Ibrahim, best known as the force behind the ABU (Anything but Umno) movement.

We were casually talking about everything under the Malaysian sky when Haris asked me what I thought about Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

I smiled, dry. Noticing my reluctance to answer his question, Haris nudged me like he always does, “Not your favourite, huh?”

“Nope,” I answered shortly, hoping Haris would get the hint..
