Anwar cries foul as Malaysian parties plan sweeping coalition change

13 Sept 08:58 Key points summarised by AI

Malaysia's Anwar Ibrahim accuses Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's party and "traitors" within his own camp of plotting a new ruling coalition to prevent him from becoming premier.
The alleged plot involves forming a new alliance with members of the ousted former ruling party, UMNO, potentially allowing Mahathir to serve a full term instead of honoring his succession promise to Anwar.
Anwar's accusations highlight deep internal divisions within the Pakatan Harapan coalition and Mahathir's reported reluctance to set a clear timetable for the leadership transition.
The speculated alliance has drawn public anger from Malaysians who voted for reform, fearing a betrayal by partnering with parties they had previously voted out.
