(The Straits Times) - MALAYSIA'S opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim on Wednesday confidently predicted he would be prime minister within three years, sketching out the first rough timetable for his dramatic political comeback.
'I don?t think we have established a definite clear time-frame when I will take over (as prime minister) but it certainly wouldn't reach three years ... much earlier than that,' the former deputy premier told reporters.
'(But) I am not in a rush,' he added.
The opposition leader also added he would likely become prime minister if his coalition takes power, and vowed to clean up Malaysia's corruption and halt its colonial-era jailing of suspects without trial.
In an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday, Mr Anwar said he was in no hurry to take control of government despite his opposition alliance's spectacular gains in elections in March.
