Oh, wow, what a revelation from PMX!

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, the paragon of virtue and champion of democracy, has graced us with his wisdom in an interview with CNN.

How fortunate we are to receive his pearls of wisdom.

Anwar's assertion that criticism of his handling of "contentious internal affairs" is uncalled for because everything was done according to the country's laws and is truly awe-inspiring.

Of course, we should never question the decisions made by the attorney-general, especially when it comes to charges against those who allegedly insult the royalty.

Who needs accountability and transparency when we have such a flawless legal system?

And let's not forget Anwar's profound defence of the law that allows charges to be brought against those deemed "abusive of the rulers."

After all, in a constitutional monarchy, it's essential to protect rulers from any form of criticism.

Anwar's willingness to accept criticism only if it were directed at him is truly magnanimous. Clearly, he's the epitome of selflessness and impartiality.

As for the ban on Swatch's Pride watches, Anwar's explanation that it's all about "the law" and not harassment of the LGBTQ+ community is simply heartwarming. Who cares about equal rights and inclusivity when you can hide behind the law, right?

And let's not forget his diplomatic prowess in not taking sides between China and the United States. Anwar's mastery of diplomacy is truly a sight to behold.

Who needs strong alliances when you can sit on the fence and watch from the sidelines?

Lastly, Anwar's reflections on his time in prison are deeply moving. The transformation from a mere mortal to a champion of human rights and democracy is truly remarkable.

In conclusion, Anwar Ibrahim's interview with CNN has left us all in awe of his unparalleled wisdom and unshakable commitment to the status quo.

We are truly blessed to have such a leader.
