Hillary Clinton to meet Wan Azizah despite fiery Umno pressure


Malaysia Chronicle

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will meet with PKR president Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, who is the wife of Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim, on Monday, high-level diplomatic sources toldMalaysia Chronicle.

The move will be cheered by supporters of the Pakatan Rakyat, even though they had hoped that the U.S. leader would have more time to meet up with the rest of the opposition team.

She is due to leave for Papua New Guinea on Wednesday after a series of meetings with Malaysian government officials on Tuesday.

"Given the enormous pressure placed on Mrs Clinton, we appreciate that she has refused to back off from meeting the opposition. It will mean a lot to democracy-loving Malaysians," a Pakatan source told Malaysia Chronicle.

Pakatan Rakyat is Malaysia's first meaningful opposition in 5 decades and has an even chance of wresting the federal government in the next general election. Since 1957, the country has been ruled by Prime Minister Najib Razak's Umno-BN.

Pakatan is led by Anwar, DAP’s Lim Kit Siang and Karpal Singh, and Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party’s Hadi Awang and Nik Aziz Nik Mat.
