IN warfare, what Anwar Ibrahim is doing now is merely following the advise of British Field Marshal Gerald Templer, also known as the smiling tiger of Malaya, who instead of pouring more human lives into the battlefield, had mastered the art of winning the hearts and mind of the population instead.
ANWAR Ibrahim knows that Zahid Hamidi and Razifi Ramli are not equipped to take on Perikatan Nasional to win the hearts and minds of the Malay youth middle ground.
INSTEAD the Prime Minister has placed himself in the line of fire with his Temu Anwar session among university students nationwide, where he had maintained that fighting corruption is his number one priority.
SO why is PAS so afraid of the Temu Anwar sessions? Well because one gathers that their own intelligence unit have already warned them that the ground is shifting towards team Anwar Ibrahim from Perikatan Nasional.
TEAM Anwar Ibrahim here means the personal branding of the Prime Minister has soared among Malay youths that in the critical areas they may now vote for Pakatan Harapan or Barisan Nasional not due to party loyalty but because of their trust in brand Anwar Ibrahim.
