7 Kuala Lumpur: Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has been endorsed by the country’s Islamist party, further supporting his push to win power. On Tuesday, Anwar secured a sweeping victory in a by-election, opening the way for him to return to parliament after a decade-long absence. "As a member of the (opposition alliance) Pakatan Rakyat, we will agree to support Anwar as opposition leader to replace his wife," Kamarudin Jaffar, the secretary general of Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS), said in a statement.
