While Malaysia was formally considered a democratic nation, power has been concentrated in the hands of a few. The ruling coalition held onto power in the most recent election, but lost the popular vote, sparking rumors of fraud. Stoking that claim was opposition leader AnwarIbrahim, a former finance minister and deputy prime minister who clashed with the ruling party and charged the government with cronyism.
Peter Chong, a friend of Flight 370 pilot Shah and a member of the opposition party himself, has said that Shah was a supporter ofIbrahim’s, and the pilot’s digital footprint revealed that he watched a lot of videos about the opposition leader.
