and perhaps, for the immediate future, out of politics.
but, he will not be out forever, will he?
while the world hails his release as a breakthrough, we should probably be more interested in the repercussions on malaysian politics.
What are the effects of his release on KeADILan and PAS?
if it is true that KeADILan has all this while been a single issue party, then Anwar's release means that the PKR (Parti KeADILan Rakyat) has now come to a point where it must find a new direction; how can it go on campaigning about Anwar's release when in fact, Anwar has been released?
Here are some photos of the man:

(From BBC UK - he's looking at his passport with delight)
(From Sydney Morning Herald)
(From The Age, Australian newspaper)
The other question which is in my mind at this point is:
Will PAS continue to co-operate with KeADILan at this point of time?
Will Anwar lead the drive to modernise Islam and PAS?
Most importantly:
How does it all stand in the light of Badawi's Islam Hadhari?
I found this article to be quite interesting:
"Free Anwar no match for Abdullah"
by Radio Netherlands
In case you're interested in Radio Netherlands...
It's quite a good site :-)
Unfortunately, it's not broadcasting in Malaysia.
