Anwar vs Popular Vote

After Anwar Ibrahim joined Umno, he stood under the Barisan Nasional ticket in four general elections - 1982, 1986, 1990 & 1995.
In 1982, BN won 60% popular votes but 85% parliament seats.
It was a gross 25% difference but Anwar, who was made a deputy minister in the prime minister's department afterwards, did not complain.
In 1986, BN won 57% popular votes but 83% parliament seats. It was 26% difference, but Anwar did not make noise about electoral injustice.
In the 1990, BN won 53% popular votes but 70% parliament seats. A 17% difference but Anwar was quiet about it.
In 1995, BN won 65% popular votes but 84% parliament seats. This time 19% difference but Anwar kept mum.
In the latest GE, 2013, BN won 48% popular votes and 60% parliament seats. It was just a difference of 12%, but Anwar is NOW ONLY, hopping mad and crying foul.
He had has held 16, 505 rallies protesting against the election results.
He described GE13 as the 'mother of all frauds'. He claimed he could not become the Prime Minister because of injustice and unfair electoral system blah blah blah.
When the "popular votes" was working for Anwar, he did not say ANYTHING... truth be told...
