| | Mahathir on the horns of a dilemma over Anwar's trial (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | One Awar backer said: 'That is well and good; but why should he assume Anwar, after the sustained demonisation of him, his family and supporters, would be prepared to save his tormentor's political skin?' But the sudden closure of the prosecution case on January 6 does suggest that the prime minister wants to disengage. |
 | | This Mahathirian dilemma underpins a larger confrontation between Malay leadership of a multi-ethnic society and Ketuanan Melayu (Malay Dominance), the nation-State dominated by one community which the Treaty of Westphalia enshrined in 1695. |
 | | Mahathir, espousing Ketuanan Melayu views, forced the first prime minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman, out for his multiracial views. |
