Anwar Ibrahim becomes the tenth Prime Minister of Malaysia

 

Anwar Ibrahim

Anwar Ibrahim made history by becoming the tenth Prime Minister of Malaysia. He was appointed as the country's new prime minister by King Sultan Abdullah at the palace in Kuala Lumpur.

His appointment ended several days of post-election deadlock. Reportedly, His Majesty gave consent to appoint Anwar Ibrahim as the tenth Prime Minister of Malaysia.

His Pakatan Harapan (PH) party won the biggest share of seats in the 15th General Election (GE15). The party won 82 seats. However, his party did not have enough seats on its own to form a government at the federal level. He had to go into the coalition to form the government. Subsequently, King Sultan took control of the process of forming a new government in Malaysia.

PH and the Malay-Muslim Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition began negotiations to form a government. PN won the second-highest number of seats in the election. The PN bloc won 73 seats. They needed 112 seats – a simple majority - to form a government at the federal level.

The King met with Anwar and former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin. After the meeting, Anwar was announced as the leader of Malaysia. The King also urged all politicians to work together for the benefit of the country.

Anwar Ibrahim

Anwar Ibrahim started his political career by founding the Muslim Youth Movement of Malaysia in 1971. Subsequently, former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad asked him to join the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO). His political career was going great until 1998.

In 1998, he was accused of corruption. He was also arrested in the same year. His conviction was overturned in 2004. However, he was sent back to jail in 2015 over new sodomy charges. He was released in 2018. After facing many years of hardships, he finally became the new leader of the country.

The GE15 was held on 19 November 2022. No party won a simple majority in the election.

India and China are barely holding on their own but what will happen if these countries go on a trade war? Indian has already banned 51 of chinese applications. The picture of a full blown trade war does not look nice. The deadly broder battle between both the countries last month has left the countries sour and has led to taking some drastic measures from both the ends. While India took an aggressive stance against China, the most populous country seems to be in no mood for retaliation. Chinese officials last week said that they were "strongly concerned" about the app ban, for example, but they did not threaten any kind of retaliation. And on Friday, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that the two countries should work together, adding that barriers to cooperation "will harm India's interests." But given the interests of both the countries in line, India has more to lose. China has been a critical tarde partner for India and as of last
