(ER) – While Malaysian prime minister Anwar Ibrahim is on an official visit to Italy, Spain and Brazil to attended the BRICS summit, his own Peoples’ Justice Party (PKR) is in rapid collapse at home. In the 2014 general election PKR received 20.39 percent of the national aggregate vote, and in 2022 PKR only received 15.72 percent of the vote. However, in an umbrella coalition stitched together and approved by the former king Sultan Abdullah, Anwar became the prime minister. This represented the crescendo of 27 years of struggle for Anwar to become prime minister as a reformer, who would dramatically change the country. Its was almost certain that Anwar would run a full term as prime minister, having the opportunity during his tenure as prime minister to win the hearts and minds of voters.
