The SDA congratulates Mr Anwar Ibrahim on his appointment as Malaysia’s 10th prime minister.

Mr Anwar’s appointment comes after some 30 years in the opposition where he strove for reform, including time spent in prison for what many deem were politically-motivated charges.

This makes his ascent all the more remarkable, and his never-say-die spirit despite the odds stacked against him is an inspiration for many generations to come.

We wish Mr Anwar well as he begins the reformation of Malaysia and leads the nation to a prosperous new future.
