Hundreds of Malaysians gathered outside the mall to greet the leader, who was appointed the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia last November.

Among those present at the event were Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, Communication And Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil, Transport Minister Anthony Loke, and Youth And Sports Deputy Minister Adam Adli.
Anwar: The Untold Story chronicles the journey of Anwar in battling corruption in the nation.
It documents the struggles of the 75-year-old politician from the time of his appointment as Finance Minister in 1991 to his dismissal in 1998 that brought about the Reformasi movement.
