For Pakatan Rakyat leaders, PKR's victory in yesterday’s Permatang Pauh by-election is a sign that the struggle for reformasi by its former MP Anwar Ibrahim has not been forgotten.

The by-election is a vindication of PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim, who is languishing behind prison bars in Sungai Buloh, Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said in a statement today.
