NST reports: Anwar sworn in
By : EILEEN NG at the Dewan Rakyat
KUALA LUMPUR, THURS:
After an absence of 10 years, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim finally returned to parliament.
Wearing a black Baju Melayu, the PKR de facto leader lifted his right hand and was sworn in as the Pematang Pauh MP in the Chambers at 10am.The seven-minute oath-taking ceremony, which took place immediately after morning prayers and before Question Time, was witnessed by speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia, Anwar's family, ministers Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz, Datuk Zaid Ibrahim and Datuk Mustapa Mohamed and MPs from both sides of the divide.
"Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, I Anwar Ibrahim, as an MP, do hereby swear with all honesty that I will fulfil my duties honestly and will defend and protect the Constitution, " he said to thumps of support from the Opposition block.After the ceremony, he went back to his allocated seat, located at front row of Block H, which directly faced the seat of prime minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
Pandikar Amin also announced Anwar's appointment as the Opposition leader."I am satisfied that the Opposition block unnanimously agreed to this and starting today, he is the Opposition leader," he said.In congratulating Anwar, Pandikar Amin expressed hopes that the PKR leader would render his services effectively.
Sebagaimana Barack Obama, peristiwa Anwar Ibrahim tidak kurang juga sensasinya.Saya merasakan ramai rakyat Malaysia akan merasa terharu dengan peristiwa pagi ini di parlimen di mana Anwar Ibrahim mengangkat sumpah menandakan kembalinya beliau selepas 10 tahun di lambung berbagai peristiwa di luar sana. Tetapi kali ini beliau hadir semula bukan sebagai wakil BN tetapi sebagai Ketua Pembangkang Pakatan Rakyat.
