Anwar Ibrahim
Anwar did not concede defeat, alleging widespread electoral fraud. "Al Jazeera" reported that Anwar Ibrahim came close to winning the election on 5 May 2013 but refused to admit defeat, and therefore also did not step down. In an interview for "ABC News", interviewer Jim Middleton suggested that Anwar Ibrahim was going to be the Lee Kuan Yew of the Malaysian opposition. Anwar answered that he was not at that stage yet.
