After weeks of borrowing influence from the democracy movement in Middle Eastern countries, opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim yesterday explained that a Egyptian or a Tunisian-style power grab was not for Pakatan Rakyat's taking.

"We don't want to do things like Egypt or Tunisia. If we want democracy, we will do it through the ballot boxes and through the general elections.

"And we are here for the win," said Anwar, who is also the PKR de facto leader, in a speech last night.
