Former deputy PM who spent nearly a decade in jail takes office after five days of post-election deadlock
Anwar Ibrahim has been sworn in as the prime minister of Malaysia after five days of post-election deadlock were broken in a moment his supporters say was two decades in the making.
The 75-year-old rose from student activist to deputy prime minister in the 1990s, but was jailed on charges of corruption and “sodomy” before returning to parliament as opposition leader.
