"Now there is a new dawn for Malaysia. I must thank the people of Malaysia. Malays, Chinese, Indians, Kadazans, Iban. Entire spectrum of our Malaysians, regardless of race and religion who stood by the principles of democracy and freedom. They demand change and it is our duty now to ensure that this mandate given to Pakatan Harapan will honour this commitment," Anwar told supporters the night of his release from prison.
Anwar would still be languishing in jail if it wasn’t for a stunning election result in Malaysia.
One that saw a seemingly untouchable Prime Minister - Najib Razak - rejected by voters and now banned from leaving the country.
