Dear Alan
Fairness for all: Anwar was only calling a spade a spade. In any case, I can understand Anwar's anger after how Najib keeps trying to frame Anwar for one offence after another. I don't blame Anwar.
If I were in his place and someone did that to me, I would have used even worse words to call him. I can imagine the pressure and tension Anwar has to go through.
Are the words in bold correctly used? In my opinion, the sentence has verbs that are inconsistent in terms of sequence of tenses. Am I correct?
Many thanks.

Re: Are the verbs in bold correctly used?
'Had been' and 'had done' would make better sense here than 'were' and 'did'.
