Anwar Ibrahim has been appointed Malaysia's prime minister, ending a five-day post-election crisis following inconclusive polls.
His appointment culminates a three-decade political journey, overcoming past convictions and repeated denials of the premiership.
The recent general election resulted in an unprecedented hung parliament, with neither main alliance securing a majority, prompting the King's intervention to appoint a leader.
Anwar's coalition won the most seats, and his premiership aims to stabilize the country after a period of significant political instability.

Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
