Anwar Ibrahim of Malaysia was sworn in as prime minister on Thursday, ending a three-decade political journey that saw him go from being Mahathir Mohamad's apprentice to leading protests, being imprisoned for sodomy, and leading the opposition.
His appointment puts an end to the historic post-election crisis that lasted five days, but his competitor, former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin, may challenge him to demonstrate his majority in parliament, which might spark new unrest.
