Anwar named Malaysian leader, in comeback for anti-graft reformer after prison

Nearly a week after Malaysia’s general election resulted in a hung parliament, longstanding opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim appears to have garnered enough support among disparate parties to form a government, staving off the rise of more conservative political forces — at least for now.

After taking into account the views of the state rulers, the king has approved the appointment of Anwar as the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia, the Istana Negara, the seat of the Malaysian king, said in a statement. In Malaysia, a parliamentary democracy with a constitutional monarchy, the king formally names the head of government.

Anwar’s multiethnic reformist coalition Pakatan Harapan, or Alliance of Hope, earned 82 seats after last week’s election, several dozen seats shy of the 112 that they needed to form a simple majority. They’ve raced against Perikatan Nasional, a right-wing national coalition that got 73 seats, to garner allies and persuade voters — as well as monarch Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah — that they have a mandate to form the country’s next government.

Daulat tuanku Dear King, Respect us. Majority is PH. Please choose anwaribrahim . MuhyiddinYassin unfit for the role. Even his attendance was poor at parlimen. abdulhadiawang lagi teruk.
