Dato' Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim, né le 10 août 1947 à Cherok Tok Kun, Penang, est un homme politique malaisien. En mai 2008, le Time l'a classé neuvième sur sa liste des cent personnes les plus influentes au monde. En juillet 2009, The Economist le considérait comme « le plus extraordinaire politicien de l'Asie du Sud-Est. » Entre 2012 et 2015 il est jugé pour des accusations de « sodomie » qu'il a toujours niées et condamné à cinq ans de prison en 2015. Il est libéré en mai 2018 juste après la victoire historique de l'opposition aux élections générales. Wikipedia
