Last Tuesday, the family of Anwar Ibrahim submitted a petition for a royal pardon – the last day to do so of the 14-day deadline since the court's verdict on February 10, 2015.
Anwar’s wife, Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail (left) explained that the appeal to the King does not imply her husband’s guilt, but was made because his trial and conviction were unjust.
Will the King put to right this miscarriage of justice? I don’t think so but we must still hope!
At the Windy City Open (February 24-March 04, 2015) in Chicago, USA, Malaysia's squash queen Nicol David took twenty-seven minutes to dispose Egypt's qualifier Heba El Torky 3-0 (11-5, 11-4, 11-7) on Sunday.
On Friday, David’s first round match against wild card and world No. 40 Olivia Blatchford saw the former also winning 3-0 (11-3, 11-6, 12-10) in thirty minutes.
Meanwhile, Malaysia's number two player, Low Wee Wern passed a daunting physical challenge from 15-year-old Egyptian Habiba Mohamed to notch a 11-8, 9-11, 12-10, 11-6 first round win on Friday.
Then the world number eight who faced Rachel Grinham yesterday prevailed over the latter with a 3-2 win. She took 58 minutes to dispose the Australian 7-11, 11-2, 3-11, 11-9 and 11-6.
In the quarterfinals, David will meet England's Alison Waters and Low will challenge Egypt’s Raneem el Weleily! Let’s see the two Malaysians continue to make waves.
