Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Malaysia's opposition PKR's plan to make Anwar Ibrahim Prime Minister by Sept 16 is still on track, said the party's vice-president Azmin Ali.

But he said with the latest allegations hurled against the de facto leader, there was some 'slowing down of the process'.

'I spoke last night to the four Barisan Nasional MPs who want to cross over and they said their commitment has not wavered even with the latest fiasco. So far, there is no change. We are still on track,' he told reporters at the Parliament lobby on Wednesday.

He said the party would be holding rallies in Penang on Saturday and Kuala Lumpur on Sunday.

He did not dismiss the possibility of street protess.

'Maybe we will use this forum for people to express their anger over what is happening and what is done by the present (Federal Government) leadership,' he said.

Mr Azmin also said they are aware that the Federal Government might use this as an excuse to crack down on PKR.

He denied that Anwar had orchestrated the sodomy accusations himself so as to draw the sympathy of the Malays, as what happened 10 years ago.

He said PKR had enough evidence of the people behind the accusations, adding that PKR president Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail had handed over proof to the Prime Minister. -- The Star/ANN.
