Anwar’s Latest Remarks Brew A Storm

At a recent townhall session in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim drew controversy after he replied to a question posed to him by a Form Six student.

So first, we discussed his remark, which he has been asked to apologise for, with Emellia Shariff, Managing Partner of Speak Up Malaysia. Then, we hear from listeners on whether these remarks reflect something more serious, or if it was simply blown out of proportion.
