ABC TV interview with MKini's P.Chandran: Anwar can become PM by being made senator.....

Premesh Chandran: Definitely. I think by April his limitations of standing for elections will be over and he can make his way into parliament through a by-election, or he can also be appointed a senator and join the upper house.

Each of the five state governments in the opposition can actually appoint senators to the upper house and he can make it into parliament and therefore into prime ministership through various means.

Also some truth finally on the actual outcome of the elections in Malaysia:

So you see a not so much a shift between UMNO Malay leadership to a non-Malay leadership, but a new Malay leadership arising, one which is more open minded, one which is more globalised, one which is prepared to face the challenge of meritocracy.

NOTE:I presume that readers are aware that the Malaysian Parliament is based on the Westminster System and hence the prime minister is usually leader of the party in majority in the lower house.
