Malaysia’s former Deputy Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim who was jailed for sodomy three years ago, walked free from prison last month after receiving a royal pardon.
That was initiated by the new prime minister under whom he was first sent to prison ‑ Mahathir Mohamad.
92-year‑old Mahathir was elected on a promise to release his long time rival and has pledged to hand over power within two years.
