Was not this the same man (Anwar Ibrahim) whom Dr. Mahathir removed from office for supposed corruption and sodomy?
Yup, same person. Indonesian people in general and also all Indonesian mainstream media dont believe the allegation brought by Mahathir. As the most democratic country in South East Asia, it is a natural stance for Indonesian to support freedom and democracy through out the region, particularly for our media ( which also one of the important force during 1998 event in Indonesia (reformasi)). I believe since almost all Indonesian politicians also support Anwar Ibrahim struggle from the start, the current relationship between Indonesia and Malaysia is not like as close as during Soeharto-Mahathir leadership.
Note : Almost all senior politicians in Indonesia are former student university activist who has always had pro democracy stance during Soeharto leadership and become a major player to bring down Soeharto. In essence Indonesian politician I believe is also pro Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood as well ( similar like our media stance )
