ABDULLAH cautioned foreign leaders Monday about meeting the country's most prominent opposition figure, former Deputy Premier Anwar, who is on an international tour."The foreign leaders...should also know what is right for them to do and what is not right," he said, when asked about Anwar's attempts to meet some foreign leaders.

"Normally, our behaviour has been that if a leader of the opposition asks for an appointment, we become naturally more cautious because we have to think of the feelings of the government in power," he said. "That's something that we always have in mind."

Anwar, released from almost six years in jail in September, has begun a series of planned international trips, seeking to call on foreign leaders and rekindle key relationships he built up before his imprisonment, while still a Cabinet Minister.

Anwar arrived in Indonesia on Monday night for a visit he hopes will lead to a meeting with the newly elected president, a senior aide, Ezam Nor, said, adding that a dinner with Vice-President Jusuf Kalla was confirmed for Thursday night.

Anwar recently visited South Africa, where he met former President Nelson Mandela, Nor said. - Reuter
