The National, Reformist leader Anwar Ibrahim sworn in as Malaysian PM “Malaysia’s King has named reformist leader Anwar Ibrahim as the country’s next prime minister after last week’s elections produced an unprecedented hung parliament.” A significant headline, especially if you follow Malaysian politics. I did some work on this in my PhD. Later on Charles Allers wrote a book (‘Evolution of a Muslim Democrat’ around his Lampeter PhD specifically on Anwar Ibrahim. I supervised the PhD.
