Both occupied the No. 2 position. The president and Anwar are friends, but I don't know to what degree. Initially, when Anwar was arrested, the president was already quite perturbed. What really forced him to comment publicly was when he saw Anwar with the physical injuries. I was worried about the Malaysian reaction.
Relations are of course a little tense now.
You have to watch these things, to see that they do not go out of control. Both sides are trying very hard to control it. There was a rally in front of the Philippine embassy in Kuala Lumpur. There won't be any long-term damage. Malaysia and the Philippines have been created by God as neighbors.
