Not meeting Anwar doesn't mean I don't care, says Obama


US President Barack Obama speaks to Asian youth leaders at the Young South East Asian Leaders Initiative Town Hall, at the University of Malaysia, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

PUTRAJAYA: Not meeting Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim this time does not mean he was not concerned about reforms or the opposition leader’s fate, said US president Barack Obama.

“The fact that I haven’t met with Anwar is not indicative of our lack of concern, given the fact that there are a lot of people I don’t meet with. That doesn’t mean that I’m not concerned about them,” he said.
