# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Penang in 1947, Anwar Ibrahim rose through Islamic student movements before joining UMNO and becoming deputy prime minister in 1993, steering Malaysia through the 1997 financial crisis as finance minister. In 1998, Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad stripped him of power and he was jailed on corruption and sodomy charges until 2004, when the conviction was overturned. He rebuilt the opposition into the Pakatan Rakyat coalition, contested two elections, and was imprisoned again in 2015 on a second sodomy conviction during the Kajang Move crisis. Released under royal pardon in 2018 after Mahathir's coalition won power, Anwar waited through another government collapse before his Pakatan Harapan won a plurality in 2022. Sworn in as prime minister on 24 November 2022, he formed a unity cabinet with former rivals, appointed himself finance minister, and now chairs ASEAN while facing criticism over conservative turns and controversies including reduced sentences for convicted predecessors.
