China News Agency, Kuala Lumpur, September 23 (Reporter Chen Yue) The 73-year-old Malaysian People’s Justice Party Chairman and former Deputy Prime Minister Anwar started his political career on the 23rd and once again hit the prime minister’s throne.

　　At noon on the 23rd, Anwar held a press conference and announced that he had received the stable support of a majority of members of the House of Commons and would seek to form a new government.

　　At the press conference, Anwar did not list the details of the political parties or MPs supporting him, only that he would make an announcement after meeting with the Supreme Head of State of Malaysia.

According to the Malaysian Constitution, the Prime Minister is appointed by the Supreme Head of State, and should be "the Supreme Head of State is determined to be supported by a majority of members of the House of Commons."

　　The National Palace of Malaysia issued a statement on the evening of the 22nd stating that the Supreme Head of State Abdullah was admitted to the hospital on the 21st because he was not fit for medical treatment. He is currently recuperating in the hospital.

　　Immediately after Anwar's press conference, Malaysia’s current Prime Minister Muhyiddin released a live television speech on the afternoon of the 23rd.

After the Pakatan Harapan government fell in February this year, Muhyiddin led the Bumiputera Unity Party and formed the current government with the support of the Malay National Unity Agency (UMNO) and Islamic Party.

　　In his speech, he did not respond positively to Anwar's challenge, and only announced measures to respond to the epidemic, including increasing "distribution of money" to low- and middle-income people.

However, he specifically called on the public to refuse "a handful of politicians" to undermine political stability.

　　Anwar only brought his wife Wang Azizah, who is also the leader of the People's Justice Party, to the press conference. No other party leaders were on the same stage.

As the press conference ended, other political parties responded.

　　The Democratic Action Party and the National Integrity Party, which belong to the Pakatan Harapan Party and the People’s Justice Party, issued a statement by party leaders announcing their support for Anwar as prime minister to form a new government.

However, the Pakatan Harapan parties currently have less than half of the seats in the House of Commons, not to mention the "stabilizing majority" of Anwar's words, the key lies in the attitude of other parties.

　　The Islamic Party currently in the Muhyiddin government has made it clear that it is not in the Anwar camp.

The attitude of UMNO, both Anwar's former "old club" and his biggest rival for many years, is rather subtle.

Although Umno also participates in the Muhyiddin government, its chairman Zahid issued a statement saying that it would not prevent "individual" MPs under Umno and the Umno-dominated National Front (Barisan Nasional) from supporting Anwar.

　　Anwar made it clear at the press conference that day that his camp does not include former Prime Minister Mahathir and the Fatherland Fighter Party, which is currently in the opposition camp but independent of the Pakatan Harapan.

　　Mahathir had vigorously promoted Anwar, and he had "challenged" Anwar in the late 1990s. Later, the two took power from the Barisan Nasional hand in hand, but after less than two years in power, the two of In February, they parted ways again, leading to the downfall of the Pakatan Harapan regime.

According to local media reports, Mahathir responded simply by "waiting and watching" after Anwar's press conference.

　　It remains to be seen whether the shock bomb thrown by Anwar will turn the Malaysian political arena upside down again, or become a dud bomb.

If Anwar does win more than half of his support, Muhyiddin, in addition to resigning and handing over power, can also follow the law to obtain the Supreme Head of State's consent to dissolve the parliament for general elections.

　　On the streets of Kuala Lumpur that day, Faiza, the taxi driver, drove the car while listening to the news of Anwar's press conference on the radio.

"I don't care who will be the prime minister in the end," he told reporters. After half a year of political turmoil, he only hopes that Malaysia can form a "stable and powerful" government as soon as possible to lead the fight against the "(virus) pandemic."
