Anwar Starts His Campaign

Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has launched his bid to return to parliament.

Mr Anwar was cheered by thousands of supporters as he filed papers to contest a seat in the northern province of Penang.



The opposition alliance headed by Mr Anwar enjoyed unprecedented support in a general election in March.

But he has since been charged with sodomising a male aide - an accusation he says is politically motivated.

In spite of the charge, Mr Anwar has vowed to press ahead with his effort to end the 51-year reign of Malaysia's Barisan Nasional (National Front) coalition.
