Anwar Ibrahim's supporters began drawing up new tactics yesterday as Malaysian police and soldiers took further steps to clamp down on their reform movement. A signature campaign has been launched and other forms of smaller-scale peaceful protests are being considered following police warnings that they would not tolerate any more large-scale public gatherings. Three senior police officers visited the former deputy prime minister's home for a second time yesterday morning to warn his wife, Wan Azizah Ismail, to pacify and disperse large crowds massing at their suburban two-storey house. Dr Azizah, who is now heading the reform movement following Anwar's arrest, said the policemen implied if she did not co-operate she too could be detained. She told the police officers she was willing to comply and agreed not to stage any more public meetings, but said she could not alone control the large crowds packing the streets around her house. Hours later, truckloads of soldiers and riot police returned and began clearing crowds, hawkers and cars jamming the streets around Anwar's house. Dr Azizah's aides urged the police not to panic and asked followers to quickly get off the street and come into the house. But last night police ordered all of them out of the compound. 'Press can stay. Other people, no, cannot stay,' an officer said. Police said 132 people, including 17 foreigners, had been arrested in connection with disturbances linked to Anwar's arrest. With many of the reform movement's leaders being held, some who remained free met in a coffee shop to discuss tactics. There were suggestions public protests might die down until Friday, when demonstrations would be called outside mosques nationwide after morning prayers. Some supporters have also discussed staging small protests in shopping malls. The International Movement for a Just World has teamed up with other non-governmental organisations to launch a signature campaign calling for independence of the judiciary and the integrity of the attorney-general and police. Political analyst Chandra Muzaffar, who heads the International Movement for a Just World, said: 'I don't think this is going to fade away. For a while at least, followers will not be able to display the kind of dynamism they would like. But if people are prevented from expressing their feelings they will resort to illegal means.' It is believed Dr Azizah will make fewer public appearances to avoid arrest. If her husband loses his Penang parliamentary seat, as seems inevitable, supporters would like her to take his place.
