From hospital to palace and to freedom


Relax, brother: Anwar removing his tie before the news conference at the family home in Segambut. With him is Azmin.

PETALING JAYA: PKR leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was taken from confinement to the palace after being released from custody, yet another milestone in his long and winding political journey.

Anwar walked out of the Cheras Rehabilitation Hospital at 11.30am yesterday and headed straight to Istana Negara for an audience with Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Muhammad V, who granted a full pardon and cleared him of his 2014 sodomy conviction.
