Anwarnomics promises to do away with state-backed racism. It promises to be inclusive, rules-based and competition-oriented with a large, well-funded social safety net.

PETALING JAYA: Due to conflicting reports on social media regarding the issue of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s release date from prison, the Prisons Department has stepped in to clarify the matter.

In a statement on Sunday, its director-general Datuk Seri Zulkifli Omar said that the Putrajaya Federal Court had upheld Anwar’s conviction on February 10, 2015 and meted out the punishment of five years jail starting February 10, 2015.
