KUALA LUMPUR -- Thousands of people gathered on a mini soccer field in an urban constituency of Batu, on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, cheering throughout a 20-minute speech by Anwar Ibrahim, one of the stars of federal elections taking place this weekend.
"If I become your prime minister," Anwar told the crowd, "I promise not to take a salary because I care for the people, and it would be unethical to pocket a fat salary while my people are suffering on the ground."
