SINGAPORE — Long-time Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim was on Thursday (Nov 24) sworn in as the country’s 10th prime minister, ending a political impasse that dragged on for five days following the general elections last Saturday.

Mr Anwar, 75, was appointed by Malaysian King Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah on Thursday following the King's meeting with other Malay rulers earlier in the day.

Mr Anwar was then jailed for sodomy for the second time in 2015 during former prime minister Najib Razak’s term in office. Mr Anwar received a royal pardon and was released from prison within a week of Dr Mahathir’s premiership.
