Abdul Razak Baginda, who heads a pro-administration think tank, the Malaysian Strategic Research Center, observes: "He may even be stronger.

...hardly guaranteed that the sculpture would be deemed worthy of a place near Britain's greatest military heroes. But Alison Lapper Pregnant embodies the spirit of Trafalgar Square. For centuries, it has been the beating heart of the city, the place where Londoners gather to debate, celebrate and mourn. Only three months ago, people filled it to cheer the announcement that London will be host to the 2012 Olympics; eight days later, they flocked there again, to commemorate the July 7 terrorist bombings. Sandy Nairne, director of the National Portrait Gallery and chairman of the committee that chose the statue...
