Anwar Ibrahim: Tenacious in Dissent, Hopeful in Power by Khoo Boo Teik (Book Review)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Following Malaysia’s 14th General Election (GE14) of 2018, Malaysia saw the rise of promising democratic practices – a two-party system; reform of the judiciary; breakdown of the 60-year old Barisan Nasional (BN) regime; multi-party coalitions; vibrancy of the (social) media and civil society; alongside the upsurge of rising ethno-religious politics. In the aftermath of the 2022 GE15, Anwar Ibrahim became Malaysia’s 10th Prime Minister. Underscoring the political changes, the Malaysian political landscape has been filled with tremendous political upheavals, and the commitment to promising democratic openings remains as a challenge.
