Azizah Ismail, wife of jailed Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, arrives at her home after meeting Philippine President Joseph Estrada at a Kuala Lumpur hotel early Tuesday Nov. 17, 1998. Azizah thanked world leaders Wednesday who have supported her and her husband, and rebuffed criticism from the Malaysian government. Azizah's meetings with top international officials at the the just-ended Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit infuriated the Malaysian government, which said they amountedto unwarranted meddling in domestic affairs. |
