Oppositieleider Maleisië is nog niet klaar met verkiezingsnederlaag

Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim vowed on Tuesday to lead a "fierce movement" to reform the country's electoral system and challenge the results of an election he lost, starting with a rally of supporters this week.

Anwar has contested the results of the most closely fought election since Malaysia was engulfed in race riots in 1969, accusing the ruling party of fraud, including use of immigrants as proxy voters, charges the government denies. He has called for a mass rally outside the capital on Wednesday. But his mobilization of supporters, echoing the "reformasi" movement he led 15 years ago, is unlikely to prevent Prime Minister Najib Razak's Barisan Nasional (BN) from extending its unbroken run as Malaysia's government following independence from Britain in 1957.
