Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim: Social Justice & Political Change

Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim gives this lecture entitled 'Social Justice & Political Change: The Malaysian Experience' at The Australian National University on 15 November 2010.

Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim is the Leader of the Opposition in the opposition alliance called the Pakatan Rakyat (People Pact). He was Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia from 1993-1998. He also served as Minister of Finance for Malaysia from 1991-1998.

He was dismissed from office in 1998 and imprisoned after a trial described by Amnesty International as exposing "a pattern of political manipulation of key state institutions including the police, public prosecutor's office and the judiciary". After 6 years of appeal his conviction was overturned by the Malaysian Supreme Court. He is currently facing another charge of sodomy in a trial which has attracted international attention and condemnation.

He is highly respected for his principled stance against corruption and his management of the Malaysian economy during their financial crisis. He is also viewed as one of the forefathers of the Asian Renaissance and a leading proponent of greater cooperation among civilisations.
