Unity government confident of seeing out full five-year term, says Loke


KUALA LUMPUR (Bloomberg): Malaysia's ruling coalition is "increasingly confident" it can last its full five-year term after the government led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim survived the country's fragmented political landscape for nearly a year, says Anthony Loke.

The Transport Minister said allies overcoming "suspicion" of each other's intentions is what makes him optimistic about the stability of the coalition made up of erstwhile political rivals.
