Wan Azizah made it clear that she felt the government was wrong to portray the opposition's campaign to raise general awareness about the use of public funds as an attempt at a mass uprising to topple the regime.
Wan Azizah described the NJP as a Pan-Malaysian party fighting for democracy and transparency in the country, agreeing that the party has a particular appeal to Malays and non-Malays together, and adding that it is not only fighting for Anwar Ibrahim's release from jail, but on behalf of the poor and needy in Malaysia.
Wan Azizah ended the interview with comments on how her children are proud to be the offspring of a leader who has sacrificed and worked hard to bring justice and unanimity to the Malays and his country.

 Honolulu Star-Bulletin Editorial Special
In Malaysia, Wan Azizah Wan Ismail stepped into politics as her husband, Anwar Ibrahim, was sentenced to six years in prison on charges seen in Malaysia and elsewhere as having been trumped up by Prime Minister Mahathir to rid himself of a political rival.
Wan Azizah has been quoted, "Anwar is a victim of the corrupt system, a system fashioned in the image of a once-respected prime minister who has lost all sense of perspective, all sense of right and wrong, and all sense of reality."
Wan Azizah, a Muslim, studied in a Roman Catholic convent where, she told a magazine in Kuala Lumpur, "Marina Mahathir was my junior at school." After Wan Azizah earned a medical degree in Ireland, she met her husband when he was visiting a patient in her hospital in Kuala Lumpur.

Wan Azizah Wan Ismail might step down as president of Parti Keadilan Nasional, Malaysia's floundering fledgling opposition group that she formed after the arrest of her husband, former deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim.
Sources close to Wan Azizah's family say she wants to slow down her hectic life and that her multiple roles as a political activist, a member of parliament and mother of six children are taking a serious toll on her health.
The feeling is that Wan Azizah's departure could generate a wave of sympathy for her and Anwar while highlighting the fact that Mahathir has no intention of departing the political scene any time soon.
