Anwar Says He'll Take Power in Malaysia, Wants Talks

Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim said he has the support of enough lawmakers to form a government and has written to Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to discuss a ``peaceful transition'' of power.

``We have the numbers and we are ready,'' Anwar told about 10,000 supporters at a rally late last night outside Kuala Lumpur. ``The best would be when we are able to address this with the prime minister, give him ample evidence.''
