See how Malaysia compares →

Spent decades as an opposition figure and was jailed twice before becoming prime minister of a unity government.

Anwar Ibrahim sits in the right-authoritarian part of the Caucus economy and liberty compass: slightly free market and leaning authoritarian. The clearest positions are leaning religious on religion, leaning traditional on culture and leaning tech-optimist on technology. The profile is close to the middle on institutions and interventionism.
