Anwar Ibrahim Confirmed as Malaysia's New Prime Minister
--------------------------------------------------------

Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has become Malaysia's 10th prime
minister. His victory came a week after a heated general election
resulted in Malaysia's first-ever hung Parliament as no major parties
were able to secure enough votes to form a new government. Ibrahim vowed
to fight corruption, revive the economy and tackle racial divisions and
discrimination. Ibrahim, a former student activist, was jailed twice on
charges denounced by supporters and human rights groups as politically
motivated.
