That said, it is also likely that the UMNO, in its hour of crisis, will try to recruit Anwar. Arguably, the best legacy Anwar might eventually leave Malaysia would not be what he can achieve for the UMNO and the National Front, but what role he might play in entrenching a contest of ideas into Malaysian politics – a project he has shown himself keen to promote.
然而，UMNO也很可能在危难之际力图将Anwar招安。或许，Anwar最终可以为马来西亚留下的最好的遗产不是他能为UMNO和民族阵线赢得什么，而是他能为马来西亚政坛开创百家争鸣的局面发挥什么样的作用—这也是他极力推动的一项事业。
