In a bid to further make a hero of himself, Perkasa chief Ibrahim Ali has mooted a leadership award in his own name for both male and female students at the UiTM. And to sure that there will be applicants for The Ibrahim Ali Leadership Award, the man himself is sponsoring a cash prize of RM5,000.

"Not that we want to undermine him, but really, when I first heard of it, I though it was a joke like Monty Python," PKR legal affairs director Latheefa Koya told Malaysia Chronicle.
