Jailed opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has made an impassioned plea to Malaysians to vote out scandal-plagued Prime Minister Najib Razak at the elections tomorrow.
Anwar, 70, has allied himself with his former tormentor, ex-premier Mahathir Mohamad, who came out of retirement to spearhead an opposition challenge to the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition.
The unlikely Anwar-Mahathir partnership is one of the most remarkable aspects of a gruelling campaign for an election many expect to be one of the country's closest ever.
Their high-profile falling out in the late 1990s shook Malaysian politics.
"I urge you all to join the people's movement to demand change," Anwar said in a statement posted on the Facebook page of his People's Justice Party late yesterday.
"I call upon the people to support him (Mahathir) in repairing the damage to our country," added Anwar.
"In 24 hours, the future of the country and fate of the people will be determined by you all."
