Malaysia's New Prime Minister: The Impact on US-China Tensions in Asia
Malaysia’s new prime minister Anwar Ibrahim has spent decades in the service of US interests, chairing the IMF in the 1990s and working with the US National Endowment for Democracy ever since.
His opposition party, a street front he has helped lead, and media networks promoting him across Malaysia’s information space have all received funding from the US government through the NED.
What impact has Anwar Ibrahim already had on Malaysia’s sovereignty and development and what impact will his premiership have on Malaysia’s future?
