KUALA LUMPUR: In his first year as the country’s 10th Prime Minister and head of the unity government, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has set a new leadership benchmark amid political and economic challenges, say pundits.

Universiti Malaysia Terengganu deputy vice-chancellor (student affairs and alumni) Prof Dr Mohd Izani Mohd Zain said Anwar’s experiences since leading the Malaysian Islamic Youth Movement (Abim) in the 1970s have shaped his character as the country’s top leader.
