Anwar was first sworn in as a minister in 1983 and he was deputy prime minister in 1993. Back then he was already seen as a prime minister in waiting but it would take nearly 30 years for him to snag the top job.
During those years he would spend time in prison, see his former allies become his enemies and then somehow become his friends again only to betray him once more... and so on.
Now a man who started his political journey as an Islamist and a vocal proponent of Malay rights leads the most liberal and multicultural of Malaysia’s major political alliances.
