Neither of Malaysia’s main coalitions managed to achieve a majority in the general election on Saturday
Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has been appointed prime minister and will be sworn in by the king at 5 pm local time, the country’s palace said on Thursday.
A general election on Saturday ended in an unprecedented hung parliament with neither of the two main alliances, one led by Anwar and the other ex-premier Muhyiddin Yassin, immediately able to secure enough seats in parliament to form a government.
