Reformist leader Anwar Ibrahim close to becoming Malaysia's next PM

Firstpost  

Anwar’s reformist alliance won 2018 elections that led to the first regime change since Malaysia’s independence from Britain in 1957. Kuala Lumpur: Reformist opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim edged closer to become Malaysia’s new prime minister after a political party agreed Thursday to support a unity government following inconclusive general elections. UMNO’s secretary-general Ahmad Maslan said Thursday the party’s highest-decision making body has decided to now support a unity government that is not led by Muhyiddin’s camp. Malaysia’s hereditary state rulers, who take turns as the country’s king every five years under a unique rotation system, are highly regarded by the country’s Malay majority as the guardians of Islam and Malay tradition.
