Anwar misses ‘nasi kandar and pasembor’
Despite his limited time at the Penang High Court today, PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim managed to share some light moments with his supporters in the public gallery.
“I miss Penang especially the nasi kandar and pasembor,” he told the small crowd gathered at Court Room 4.
His wife Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and daughter Nurul Izzah was in court as well.
Reporters were warned not to ask him any questions beyond the court case, to which Anwar replied: “Go ahead, ask. There is no law against asking questions.”
“However, I cannot guarantee what will happen to you later after you ask questions,” he said jokingly.
Anwar was in good spirit, sporting a black suit and white shirt but looked as though he has lost more weight.
Again, Anwar joked about how there was “more harassment, less food” if he spoke to reporters during court appearances.
“See how much weight I have lost,” he quipped, tapping his flat tummy.

Anwar, lawyer and NST settle suit
GEORGE TOWN: A consent judgement has been reached in the defamation suit filed by jailed former opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim against senior lawyer Ranjit Singh, the New Straits Times (NST) newspaper and its two journalists.
Ranjit apologised to Anwar and the late Karpal Singh’s wife, Gurmit Kaur, in court before Justice Rosilah Yop.
“I, Ranjit Singh Mahinder Singh, hereby wish to unequivocally and unreservedly apologise for my statements that were published by the NST on 6th August, 2013 at page 10, titled ‘Prove you have nothing to hide’.
“I further apologise for having called for both Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim and the late Karpal Singh to declare their assets to the public in order to prove they were clean and to clear themselves of unproven and unsubstantiated allegations against them in relation to judiciary fixing and corruption.
“I understand that my statements had negative insinuations and I unreservedly apologise to Anwar and the late Karpal Singh and their respective families.”
Meanwhile, NST, its specialist writer Adrian Lai and its former reporter Looi Sue-Chern agreed the publication of the impugned article titled “Prove you have nothing to hide” were based on the comments made by Ranjit.
The agreed apology and retraction, to be published by NST, will be as follows:
“The publication of the impugned article and the headline were based on the comments made by the said Ranjit.
“We acknowledge that the publication of the impugned article including but not limited to the headline, was baseless, in light of Ranjit’a apology.”
The consent judgement was reached after six hours of deliberation by the lawyers of all parties involved.
