LIVE Report Sodomy II Trial | 6.05pm: Anwar leaves the courtroom and spends some time greeting his supporters before departing with his wife Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and daughter Nurul Izzah Anwar.
One supporter, Gan Siew Kin, takes the opportunity to give Anwar several books on the Romance of the Three Kindoms and repeatedly urges him to read it.
Speaking to Malaysiakini later, the 70-year-old woman said she had waited since 8am to talk to Anwar.
She said her hope is that Anwar would draw inspiration from the book and surround himself with people who are as righteous and wise as the book’s protagonists, especially the foresight of the noted military strategist Zhuge Liang.
“In all my years, I have never seen someone persecuted so relentlessly. It just never ends,” she said.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a novel in Chinese classical literature based loosely on the events of the Three Kingdoms Period in Chinese history.
The hearing resumes tomorrow at 9.30am, but supporters are planning to gather at the nearby Masjid Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin for prayers first before going to wait outside the court complex.
