INTERVIEW The sacking and arrest of then deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim in 1998, ignited the ‘Reformasi’ movement which saw thousands take to the street. They united, for one man.

18 years later, opposing forces come together again, but this time to unseat a scandal-hit prime minister. What is the difference between these two major movements?

For Kluang MP Liew Chin Tong, it is the difference between one Anwar and a team of “Anwars”.

"(In today's situation) we might be looking for one Anwar, but eventually found a team of Anwars," he told Malaysiakini in an exclusive interview last week.

"When this team of Anwars lines up, it could become a great power."
