Malaysia's former deputy prime Minister, Dato' Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim, born in 1947 is one of the most controversial figure in Malaysian politics. He rose to prominence under Tun Dr Mahathir's administration which many regarded him as his protégé. Anwar Ibrahim would eventually grow out of that shell and become one of his nemesis, constantly becoming a thorn in his flesh, until Dr Mahathir eventually sacked him and charged him. He has been through as high as nearly becoming the successor to the Prime Minister and as low as a convict for corruption and sexual misconduct which was eventually reversed. Anwar has been listed as Time Magazine's 100 most influential people in the world and is now the leader one of the opposition parties of Malaysia, the Parti Keadilan Rakyat. Born in Cherok Tok Kun in Penang to Ibrahim Abdul Rahman and Che Yan, Anwar Ibrahim took Malay Studies in the University of Malaya. He obtained his earlier education through the Malay College in Kuala Kangsar and held the President of the Persatuan Kebangsaan Pelajar Islam Malaysia (PKPIM) from 1968 to 1971. Anwar Ibrahim was also the President of the Malaysian Youth Council (Majlis Belia Malaysia) and was arrested without trial under the Internal Security Act when he protested against hunger and poverty. During his time at PKPIM, he was a popular figure for being one of the most prominent leaders during his time. He then joined Umno in 1982 and by 1983 took up the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports position. One year later Anwar Ibrahim took the Agriculture portfolio before becoming the minister of Education 2 years later. During his term as the Minister of Education, which many believed that based on past records, who eventually rise up the ranks as the Deputy Prime Minister, he made some policy changes which included changing the name Bahasa Malaysia to Bahasa Melayu, a move not favoured by many especially from the non-malays. Anwar Ibrahim became the Finance Minister in 1991 and 2 years after that becomes the Deputy Prime Minister. in the next few years, speculations were brewing that he would eventually take over as the Prime Minister where many have often referred them as ‘son-father' relationship. This would eventually lead to Anwar being appointed by Dr M as the Acting Prime Minister while he took a 2 months break from office. Subsequently, that has led to a rise in power that eventually could have been his downfall. Anwar Ibrahim attacked Umno for promoting nepotism and cronyism and those associated with them and this would have triggered his very own attempts to disintegrate the many efforts put up by Dr Mahathir which was more or less very protectionistic. According to Anwar, Cronyism was the major cause of corruption and misappropriation of funds in the country. His views on this eventually caused a separation between himself and the party and would eventually cause his expulsion and accusations. The financial crisis in 1997 saw his capacity as Finance Minister taking actions that were not very much welcomed by the then Prime Minister Dr Mahathir who eventually took over the portfolio after sacking Anwar from his office and all positions and then he was charged with corruption and sexual misconduct. Anwar Ibrahim, in his usual self did not back down, denied all allegations and started his ˜reformasi' campaign, one held strongly and actively participated by his supporters spearheaded by his wife Dr Wan Azizah. She would eventually start the political party known as Keadilan, which she would be the sole voice of the party in Parliament Malaysia today. The party then grew stronger until Anwar's acquittal where all the charges were reversed and he took over the party leadership. The recent general elections saw his party grew with a coalition with other opposition parties DAP and PAS to form the Pakatan Rakyat. pakatan Rakyat now collectively govern 5 states in Malaysia with a louder voice in Parliament. Anwar Ibrahim is now eligible to run for public office after his banned term ended in April 2008.

Dato Seri Anwar, please fight on.The people are behind you. It is now very clear that UMNO has no regards whatsoever for the Rakyats in the Country. All they talk about is Malay Rights, Malay Rights, Malay Rights! What about Rakyat's rights, Which includes Malays, Chinese, Indians and others. They get paranoid that deserving non-malay students are given scholarships by the government. They want to continue with the policy that non deseving students must be helped just because they are Malays. If that is so, the money should come from UMNO. Government's money that is derived from all tax payers, must be used for the Rakyat, which (I repeat) consists of Malays, Chinese, Indians, Ibans, Kadazans and others..

Looking at the latest developments it seems to me our DSAI is wise and mindful for not swearing on the Koran. This shows our DSAI place the interests of all peace loving Malaysians and Malaysia before his personal interest.
...
DEAR DSAI.WHEN YOU ARE ELECTED AS THE PM OF MALAYSIA.DONT FORGET WE INDIANS.HELP EVERY RACES AND CITIZEN/S OF MALAYSIA AND NOT THE INDONESIANS,BANGLADESH AND OTHER PENDATANG HARAMS TO MALAYSIA.
...
most of those who claim that they support DSAI but then they smear the justice face by swearing and using foul words are hypocrites,just like saiful...they are actually reps from BN to bring down PKR...may Allah bless us the TRUE supporters...Amiiinn...
...
though news are spreading fast that PKR supporters are becoming more out of control, we know that those who act beyond what DSAI told them to do are actors..as usual, they act as PKR supporters to let people view PKR as some-what communist but they are actually paid to do so...if anwar wins this election today, it will be a big surprise as it will mean that BN do not play foul against him..i bet we all know they always play foul against him to make him lose just as the recent crap sodomy allegation...so, if Anwar wins, maybe the BN have come to their sense for playing fair and letting people choose what they really want for the beloved country...but it wont be that easy...phantom voters are always on the bench to boost BN winning...just pray that no matter how dirty the BN plays, Allah will let us win...just pray...and for the permatang pauh people, you know what is the best for you...things to think...have a fruitful day...REFORMASI!
...
HEEEE PKR MENANG .....TAHNIAH PENGUNDI P44.PENGUNDI BN 15 RIBU TU BIAR DIA TERJUN DALAM LABU LABU NYA.KEMPIN NAJIB,KHAIRY,EZAM SAIFUL,MEMBUAT ORANG P44 BERTAMBAH BENCI,TERIMA KASIH KAMU ORANG TULONG DSAI BERKEMPIN UNTOK KEMENANGAN LEBIH BANYAK LAGI.LAIN KALI KEMPIN LAGI MACAM TU YA....,BAGUS TU....KAMI MAU BN HILANG WANG PERTARUHAN.......JUMPA 2011

To Dato' Seri Anwar,
...
PLEASE for the sake of "PERPADUAN", change Bahasa Melayu back to Bahasa Malaysia. May it be the national language for Negara Malaysia and not Melayu. Malaysia is formed by the firstly used "Malaya" and the multiracial comunity had well accepted the :Malaysia" term and almost all if not all including myself, says we are "MALAYSIAN"!!!
