Thousands Rally in Kuala Lumpur to Protest Malaysia PM Anwar's Leadership
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA, JUL 26 – The opposition accuses Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim of economic mismanagement and authoritarianism, with police preparing for an expected 15,000 participants at the rally, organizers said.
- On July 26, 2025, protesters began assembling in Kuala Lumpur near the Sogo shopping centre for the 'Turun Anwar' rally.
- Drawing on new legal freedom, the rally channels discontent over unfulfilled promises, economic mishandling, and authoritarian tendencies after Section 9 of the Peaceful Assembly Act was struck down.
- According to the programme, Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Muhyiddin Yassin will attend, while police officers are deployed at key points.
- In response, a group of prominent non-governmental organisations on Friday distanced themselves, while Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim insisted he would not step down, saying he had not stolen anyone's money.
- While his position remains secure, rising public frustration is shaping up to be his toughest political challenge, and ongoing backlash could threaten his second-term prospects, Asrul Hadi Abdullah Sani said.
