Malaysia’s Anwar vows to oust govt, cut fuel price

DUBAI (Reuters) - Malaysian opposition figurehead Anwar Ibrahim said on Friday he would press ahead with a campaign to topple the government and would cut fuel prices if he took power.
Anwar, who says he has parliamentary backing to bring down the government, said his supporters included senior defectors from the ruling coalition. He said he also had growing support from the oil-producing areas of Sabah and Sarawak.
“We do have the numbers but the issue is when to move on the no confidence vote… It can be weeks to months,” he said.
“We have adequate numbers to secure a simple majority in the house. What we need, of course, is a comfortable majority … There is a general sentiment among the general population wanting this change.”

SU: Change .. we must!
