The Turun Anwar Rally, on July 26, drew thousands of protesters, though crowd estimates vary depending on the source. However, the biggest challenge facing the opposition coalition in rallying support for a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Anwar is the absence of a clear and credible alternative to lead the government. Dr. Azmi Hassan, Senior Fellow at the Nusantara Academy for Strategic Research, offers his take on Malaysia's evolving political landscape.
