| After one of the closest and most unpredictable elections in Malaysian history, longtime opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim finally achieved his decades-long goal of becoming prime minister. But he will preside over a parliament that is deeply divided by race and religion. What’s next for Malaysia? Will Anwar be able to keep his governing coalition together? And what will the future hold for United Malays National Organization (UMNO) and the Barisan Nasional that had ruled Malaysia for most of its post-independence history? Moderated by FCC President Keith Richburg. | |||||||||||||||||||||
