From prison to Prime Minister: Malaysia’s Anwar Ibrahim

Join us on Telegram and Instagram for the latest.

After decades as an opposition figure, in November 2022 Anwar Ibrahim became Malaysia’s Prime Minister.

His appointment came after a turbulent election, which saw an unprecedented hung parliament, large gains by a conservative Muslim party and heightened racial tensions.

The election exposed Malaysia’s deepening fault lines, notably an electorate polarised between factions that support multiculturalism and religious conservatism.

Anwar now faces the uphill task of delivering on long-pledged reforms, while reconciling the nation and maintaining political stability.

Al Jazeera joins Anwar Ibrahim as he navigates his first six months in power and examines the challenges that lie ahead for him and Malaysia.

The views expressed in Aliran's media statements and the NGO statements we have endorsed reflect Aliran's official stand. Views and opinions expressed in other pieces published here do not necessarily reflect Aliran's official position.
