As Indonesian İm literally crying watching this and I can't believe Malaysian wasting his remarkable leadership mindset and kindness to lead the country, people of Malaysia what are u waiting for,someone like him it's a rare gem,you guys should be proud of him I believe he can bring glory to Malaysia,give him a chance or you guys will regret later.
Crying watching this . He is too nice of a man. He gave someone who put him in jail.. away from families for years a chance. Mahathir betrayed him again, not making him Prime Minister after this interview. I just can't imagine the patience he has. You are our well deserved 10th prime minister. No one else should sit in that position. They have denied you since 1998 and now your time has come.
You are easy to be fooled. If the mainstream media praises your leader, you know you are screwed. He is a U S agent. Many will not believe me but I bet he will destroy Malaysia by taking an anti-china position. He will likely cancel all china’s BRI project that is so important for Malaysia’s economy
Greetings of congratulations from the Philippines, my Malaysian brothers and sisters! The time has come for you to have a patient, a man with passion and dignity to be your Prime Minister. Long live, Malaysia! 🇲🇾
3 hours ago, Anwar took the oath as the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia. Here I am, just finished watching this, crying in my car at a supermarket parking lot. Malaysia Boleh. Malaysia bermaruah.
Semoga Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim dan keluarga sentiasa dalam keberkatan dan dirahmati Allah SWT serta dapat menjadikan Malaysia kaya, maju, makmur dan damai. Amin ya Rabbal A'lamin..
We Malaysian are proud to have DS Anwar Ibrahim as our leader after going through such difficult moments which made him a person with passion and dignity.
It's true that the interviewer asked harsh questions. But Anwar handled them elegantly. I'm actually glad she did asked all those hard questions. Shying away from critical critism might not be a good way of learning the cold hard truth. Anwar speaks like a true leader
Watching this now in 2022, I'm so proud that Anwar answered her questions with grace and wisdom. I can't believe Malaysia have such a great leader and human like Anwar Ibrahim.
I thoroughly salute this interviewer. She knew how he was feeling inside, she knew the doubts in his head and tried to hammer on them. But the many years of hardships put onto DSAI has taught him well. I’m very proud as a Malaysian to call him our new PM. Mashallah
Anwar had been interrogate for years and for sure this is not the first time he handles this kind of provocation. He handles the interview really well. Respect!
Today is the day that Dato Seri Anwar sworn in as Prime Minister of Malaysia and watching this make me tears.. Malaysians are so blessed to have you as our prime minister
Watching from 2022 now on, I am so glad that his dream of being prime minister is fulfilled. He has never give up despite all the obstacles throw at him by his political opponents. Really also props to the Agong who desires to see a government that could rally the Rakyat, and have more ethic representation in parliament, where all voices could be heard. I am confident under his leadership and eloquence, Malaysia will start to prosper then ever before. And is also my sincere hope that even staunch supporters from BN or PN could give him the support that he deserves, is about time to move on from inward-looking racial politics and start focusing on things that truly matters.
Four years later we now know that Doucet was right to be skeptical about Dr M. She is a top-notch interviewer and Anwar really showed his compassion and intelligence here
I’m tears over watching this, finally he made it. We are proud to be Malaysian, how can we thank you enough DSAI. He forgave everything that had happened to him just for the sake of his country. We are really fortunate to have him as our PM this time.
An amazing man. Total respect for him. His willingness to forgive his enemies and to move forward to create a greater nation and a corrupt free country must remain the main reason we have to applaud him for his convictions. May the Lord bless him and his family. He will make a fine Prime Minister.
Anuar Ibrahim. I can see so much in him. He had been through false accusations.. agonising confinement in absurd length. During this interview he mentions he read throughout the period of confinement, I see in his eyes and face thousands of emotions and resignation to negotiate with his adversariies. This is man who actually learned philosophy of surviving and persevering first hand. I wish you all the best and i respect you.
I disagree with the many comments saying this journalist was biased. I think she did her job well, applied some proper critical analysis with her questions and properly interviewed Anwar and made him cover some very good topics. Overall, I personally think this was a very enlightening interview.
Many comments from Malaysians criticising the journalist, but this is what British journalism is like. Her job is not to make the interviewee feel comfortable and at ease. It is to make him feel uncomfortable, because that way, you get more sincere answers. In a way, Lyse Doucet has done Anwar and Malaysia a big favour with her skeptical line of questioning, because the sincerity in Anwar's answers comes out all the more. It is striking, and will go a long way towards reassuring both the Malaysian electorate, and the political figures involved that the compromise struck between Anwar and Mahathir is genuine.
I think us Malaysians are moving towards that. 'British' Journalism as you fervently put it, is somewhat alien to our culture. Most educated in media, politics and the experienced professionals are used to this. The general population, however, are not. Give it time and grace. I do however agree with you, it's the heart of a good journalist, being able to question with a skeptical mode. But this is not hardtalk.
Yes, it is a well-known practice among western journalists, who are free to squeeze their politicians hard in pursuit of the truth. If you are relaxed and friendly with your interviewee, they will simply provide you with answers that they have already prepared before the interview and rehearsed in their minds. But if you push them hard and make them feel uncertain and uncomfortable, you are more likely to get a more spontaneous, and therefore a more sincere, reply. I think there are several points in the interview where Anwar is visibly uncomfortable but, to his credit, he answers well and comes across all the more sincerely precisely because he has been made to feel uncomfortable.
Even have a few of UK MP didn't like how BBC way.this is not about make the Interview more interesting and fun..but come on accept the truth answer not making a recycle questions its quite bored!
Alhamdulillah . After 2 decades finally Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim become Malaysia Prime Minister . I’ve waited for this moment too long… I’ve watched all his sacrifices & struggles for the Malaysia it was a crazy journey despite from that, finally DSAI can lead malaysia. And I’m beyond happy!!! I’ll always support him no matter what! He’s sacrificed his life for the nation and I’m very proud to have him as 10- Prime Minister. I love him so much ❤❤ May God Bless him always and wishing the best for him 🙌🏻🫡
Allah Is Great. And Allah see all this. Let Anuar lbrahim ,live a another 100 years more. Anuar lbrahim, is one in a million, Just like Nelson Mendela.
I saw Anwar being escorted out of court about a year ago. I have never felt so sad that day seing a man fall from such heights. Bare footed and chained from hand to feet I felt angry and sad for him and the state of our courts and law enforcement. I am so happy now to see things have reversed and I wish him all the best and his family. Whatever choices he and his family makes I will support him.
Compared to Najib who attended his corruption charges in expensive and branded suits & tie. He been galavanting around waking free all over the country. Not even a single night he spent in jail during the trial. How so were court, judiciary, pdrm, judges being so unfair & mistreated Anwar like a dangerous criminals . But Anwar braved all those humiliations steadfast . They can jail and even broken hua bones but they can never desttoy his spirit.
DSAI's energy of being brave and kind to people who treat him badly can be felt from the words (min 23). "While he always has the option to find a lucrative job overseas, he think about what will happen to the young who will continue the struggle while the leader enjoying life outside... I will endure, crazy as I am... but then he thought it was the right decision. Anuar Ibrahim.. Thank you DSAI!!" May Allah granted the best of health, wisdom and blessing to DSAI, family and supporters.
I think the journalist has done a good job in the interview. She rattles DSAI by doubting him. She lets him show his true colour. We Malaysians want to know him more since he is prime minister in waiting. We don't want Malaysia to be worse when he takes over in two years. If she asks lame questions, this would be a boring interview to watch. I wish the interview would be longer or there will be more interviews with DSAI. Good job BBC.
This is how a leader should behave... very cool, concious mind, very focus in answering no matter how provocative the question is... DSAI, my kampung boy... U are the best
And at least he didn't suddenly try to end the interview when bombarded with tough questions like the other guy who is now spending his vacation at Kajang resort.
The skepticism in the journalist asking the questions seems a little too much. She asks questions in an accusing tone rather than neutral. Doesn't quite fit the tone of the what actually happened within Malaysia as most of us Malaysians are well aware of what Mahathir has been like in the past but are hopeful that things changing for the better.
This woman is definitely anti-Mahathir and it does look like her line of questioning was trying to pressure Anwar to say something negative against Mahathir - as though to prove her own pre-conceived opinion.
I agree totally. She was accusatory and patronising and so doubting Anwar. Datuk Seri has been the Mandela of Malaysia through his persecution by UMNO and Mahatir and Najib in the past. He does not need to answer the condescending questions she asked persistently, doubting him. Try spending 10 years unjustly in jail and see how she would feel. This man is a hero. He is a giant of Malaysia and I hope he is PM very soon. A just and fitting reward for one so persecuted. A new Mandela for Asia.
this man is truly gracious and has a very subtle way of putting her in her place...im sure she didn't realise how foolish she sounded. You da man Anwar!
ANWAR is crappy for sure .. - he is worried that Azmin might overtake - Anwar never has been good for the PM office .. As a hard core racist now dressed in sheep's clothing .. no way Anwar - Get lost .. go back to jail or go kissing sultans asses
Our pride Prime Minister of Malaysia Datuk Sri Anwar Ibrahim 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia. Historic event on November 24, 2022 definitely unforgettable to entire Malaysian. He truly represent us Malaysians.
May democracy and justice prevail in Malaysia, may the Almighty steer you well Anwar Ibrahim, trust and Honesty will always be the best policy, it may not happen overnight, it will happen, as we follow in God Almighty path, we have to have faith and trust in him, no matter what.....wishing you and your family too, all the very best, Mr Anwar Ibrahim.....thank you sir...and well done.
We must understand where the journalist comes from, as she has to be hard hitting and sharp to get Anwar to give his actual thought process about his plans with Dr. Mahathir on new Malaysia. And I tend to think both Anwar and Dr. Mahathir did the right thing. Given Anwar’s past predicaments, it is not easy for him to compromise with Dr. Mahathir. It is only a man with strong sense of commitment and highest level of maturity can one adopt this approach. That is why most of us are the average people who cannot think too far. Honestly I am of the opinion that the journalist had done a good job by putting the toughest questions to Anwar for his best answers. Otherwise she is another average journalist doing a normal job as done by most people in the profession.
She was a bit wrong, Mahathir did put Anwar in jail the first time in 1998, after which he was released in 2004. It was Najib Razak that puts him in jail the second time in 2015, until he got the royal pardon last month.
tokmoh2000 , you are right but Anwar seems to favour Najib more than Mahathia. It is indeed sad to see him “kowtow” to the yellow as he doesn’t agree the journalist to reveal how the royalty spend the rakyat’s money. He advise lim guan eng not to expose the one MDB scandal too. Honestly , I don’t trust Anwar as he is not transparent enough.
That is correct not to blame on Tun Mahathir it is Najib should be in the wrong for putting DS Anwar into jail. Now is Najib turn to be put into jail and it should be done by the present PM. Thank you..
@@abdulmuhid1816 Are you seeing DS Najib has been imprisoned now??Even Tommy Thomas couldn't prove that DS Najib is guilty.You can't blame DS Najib.Ha5...😤😤😤😡😡😡
I just love the way this man speaks. Keep up the good fight, it’s in the hands of Malaysians to hold their leaders accountable from here on, lest we forget.
the journalist is trying to find a way to play with anwar emotion against mahathir but it does not work .. anwar have been able to control the situation..congrate anwar you are great
lol everyone. She's a good journalist. Asking the hard questions that need to be answered. Speaking to Anwar as more than an equal. Western journalists have different training and tact, and she's managed to get the answers out of Anwar. Most Malaysian interviewers just regurgitate the same predictable questions to the point that they are superfluous because you'd know Anwar's answers to them. At 12:12 when she asked Anwar if he wanted to be PM, I wish he had a much stronger response. He should of said 'Yes, I do, and I am the best candidate/most qualified etc.', instead of saying it was consensus, or that he should be given the chance. Didn't express his desire enough. No one wants a half hearted leader.
T K if he answe with full confidence than it will be issue in Malaysia, people who before this anti with him will say now you see he admit he's gila kuasa. I think he done well by answering that way.
John must have been brainwashed by BBC for so long , so sad that they have to insult someone who didn't even use any foul languages to start an argument
The interviewer doubts too much. There's a lot of trust between Dr M and Anwar and his wife now. When the opposition won, the King wanted to make Anwar's wife the PM, but she said there's an agreement between her and Dr M. Dr M should be very grateful to Anwar and wife.
Mee Shar Foo : so what’s ur expectation or version should the agong and all the malay sultans should be ??? A muppet ??? Strip out their power and status ??? Ambitious2... stop playing with fire .. when that time comes, non of ur so called malays pal wanna risk their necks for u ... ok cheng ?
I dont know if PKR would have won without Mahathir's support. The public voted for Tun M and PH, the whole plot of the past election was Tun M amending his mistakes of his dark past and moving towards a true democracy. This man was no shy to kleptocracy himself. Regardless of the King's so called wisdom, Mahathir owes nobody nothing. The two top minds just got even. So to say a symbiotic relation, they need each other for the present state.
sadly as expected mahathir never change...the old man did use anwar and cannot be trusted...for the last 15 years i've been hoping anwar to be the next PM and even in his 90s mahathir still want to end anwar political career...finally 2022 history has been made..anwar finaly is the tenth prime minister of Malaysia.
It isn't her job to be polite. it is her job to provoke him as far as possible so that his true colours can be revealed. And he does extremely well under pressure. Might be good for you (and others commenting here) to watch BBC's Hard Talk and see how journalists handle other world leaders and movers and shakers.
normal journalism bro she is doing her job way should he be addressed any different if not we should be more critical to leaders and pepol in power and roast them harder
While I disagree with Tahi Lembu. I also strongly disagree with you. I appreciate the tough questions that this specific BBC journalist asked. They were very good questions submitted with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Before all these tragedy unfolded, i had impression of him as rigid and somewhat stubborn. I mean during his vice prime minister era. Now he looked more mellow and forgiving and open to negotiations. I kinda feel sad and glad for him. Your EExcellency Anuar Ibrahim.. i cherish what you have become.
If Anwar becomes the next PM, Singapore will become HISTORY. The BRITISH never left Singapore, and are in control of everything. If not so, you think Mahathir would not have gotten rid of the Royalty of the Federated states. Well MAHATHIR nearly remove their power grip on the parliament, but suddenly failed. I suspected the BRITISH royalty had a hand in the operational of Malaya, Singapore as well. I remembered when Mahathir first became PM, he wanted to do away with the British control, had asked Malaysians to look East (Japan). But I suspected the Chinese there objected... more the meets the eye... such things relating the British control must be investigated by MALAYSIANS if you really want freedom from the past colonial power. Malaysia is not independent yet.
I'm happy that all the hardship/obstacles he and his family has gone through, prayers had been answered. And those who framed him, may they tremble in fear as karma does exist, DSAI is proof of that. Congrats DSAI for being Malaysia's 10th PM. Justice has prevailed. I'm looking forward to a better Malaysia, my homeland.
Thank you so much for this video. It helps even for us who live in the region to understand the comings and goings of things that are happening as they happen ...
Malaysia will see its glory days again under the leadership of this great, saintly and brilliant man. 24 years in waiting to become PM. I believe he will be Malaysia's greatest PM! 🙏
This is the way media and press journalist in doing an interview just to get more from a person being interview. There must be something concrete is the interview not just for sake of the interview.
he has nothing to prove, he can actually leave us behind and continue with his life, but he chose to stay and fight for the future Malaysian "what about the young, do you want them to continue with the struggle while the leader enjoying life outside, u cant, u have to endure"
zahid salleh I couldn't agree more. I think she knows that hence manipulated this interview in order to show audience that she's in control, or so she thinks she was. Merely because she knows if it's Mahathir, she'll be lambasted with words and sarcasm.
Thank you ya Allah for blessing Malaysia with DSAI as our PM. He is truly full of compassion. Salute, Respect and much love for our PM10. I shall always keep DSAI in my prayers.
Saya seorang rahyat biasa, saya nak ceritakan dgn negara Malaysia , Malaysia adalah sebuah negara yang kaya di mata negara2 barat, Malaysia ada petroleum, gas asli , kelapa sawit ( world no.1 seketika dahulu) , pakok getah( also world no.1), pelabuhan2 yang berpotensi, tak ada gempa bumi, boleh bercucuk tanam 365 hari, kenapa boleh jadi teruk sangat keadaan sekarang , ini adalah Pentabiran kerajaan yang gagal , terimalah kenyataan wahai rahyat Malaysia, semoga kerajaan ds Anwar sekarang kemarikan kemilagan di masa dulu , Malaysia boleh ! Malaysia boleh !
Saya setuju dengan kenyataan awak ni. Menteri menteri dulu hidup senang, duit berlambak tak habis 7 keturunan tapi rakyat semua kaum ramai yang susah. Sampai ada yg terpaksa buat 2 kerja untuk cari pendapatan lebih. Kos hidup makin tinggi. Saya menaruh harapan tinggi agar kerajaan pimpinan DS Anwar Ibrahim naikkan balik negara kita dan rakyat tak hidup susah dah
There is nothing wrong with the journalist and her methods of questioning. That is what journalism in a freer environment looks like. Give Anwar some credit. He is educated and well read. Our kampung boy is an intellectual who can hold his own. This interview made me cry. He is up there amongst people like Ghandi, Bhutto, Aung San Suu Kyi and Mandela. And the challenge for proponents of democracy who manage to leave incarceration out of the front door: Can they remain faithful to their ideals and not be blinded and swayed but those who opened the prison door for them. I hope Anwar will be able to catch up, reflect and enjoy his time with people nearest and dearest to him before getting thrown back into the colosseum. I hope to God Tun Mahathir honours the deal (I still don't trust him, but I need to believe). We do need someone to take Malaysia to another level of cultural philosophical maturity and I believe his experience now equips him with the wisdom to do that. I feel proud whenever I watch my leaders response with genuine answers and conduct themselves with such elegance and dignity especially in internationally broadcasted interviews.
Iife is an ARDUOUS JOURNEY, ESPECIALLY FOR A POLITICIAN WHO HAS VISION AND IDEAS , ITS A GRT RISK SOMETHING A FARSIGHTED POLITICIAN NEEDS TO WEIGH AND BALANCE.A GAME OF THRONE . HE ALONE CANT DO IT, IT TAKES A NATION WHO WANTS TO SEE CHANGES.
@@halimsoraya8584 Of course taxing. However he had shown professionalism in his answers that many might think too naive or ignorant. In the Game of Throne, everybody knew their roles well. Let us unite in prayers sending him positive vibration to break all barriers to execute his plans. At least this is what I could offer him from far.
And now, at last, he is Prime Minister of Malaysia. Let us hope that the kindness shown in this interview will be supported by a shrewd political acumen to fend off the inevitable plotting by the enemies of democracy, pluralism and freedom to out him or stymie reforms
its remarkable how firm and professional anwar bout those personal trust issue. he keep on saying for malaysia, and dats make me in tears. and today i wanna tell the interviewer dont mess with my PM.
The interviewer started being quite skeptical and swinging hard, but you can almost see her transition in the middle of the interview, gradually finding greater respect for Anwar.
As Indonesian İm literally crying watching this and I can't believe Malaysian wasting his remarkable leadership mindset and kindness to lead the country, people of Malaysia what are u waiting for,someone like him it's a rare gem,you guys should be proud of him I believe he can bring glory to Malaysia,give him a chance or you guys will regret later.
Soon.

I think the journalist has done a good job in the interview. She rattles DSAI by doubting him. She lets him show his true colour.

If she asks lame questions, this would be a boring interview to watch. I wish the interview would be longer or there will be more interviews with DSAI. Good job BBC.
Now that’s the PM that I’ve voted for. Finally my PM!!
This is how a leader should behave... very cool, concious mind, very focus in answering no matter how provocative the question is... DSAI, my kampung boy... U are the best

BBC is A BRITISH propaganda machine for many years.
Dont be tricked into thinking its a news agency.
His fighting spirit is inspiration
Anwar being ask by this lady journalist with twisty question and yet he gave answer in a polite and cool tone...we malaysien proud of you bro
Listening to him talk, I feel that I’m one proud Malaysian.
Anwar's English is top notch.
who cares? they haprak party failing apart
bayern james , Anwar is stammering because he is a liar of the n+1 order mathematically speaking

ANWAR is crappy for sure .. - he is worried that Azmin might overtake - Anwar never has been good for the PM office .. As a hard core racist now dressed in sheep's clothing .. no way Anwar - Get lost .. go back to jail or go kissing sultans asses

very manipulative in his discourse
Our pride Prime Minister of Malaysia Datuk Sri Anwar Ibrahim 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia. Historic event on November 24, 2022 definitely unforgettable to entire Malaysian. He truly represent us Malaysians.
Anwar Ibrahim = Man of great wisdom

So much wisdom from this man. Proud to be Malaysian
See your comment today in 2022 and i know you must be happy now 😊
@@carburet0rdung i'm happy too
He not only good in English.. he also good in bahasa… i learn a lot of new words in bahasa
He presents a hero's persona and so far deservedly so, I hope he does not sell out when the time comes to take power.
Very interesting interview. A very humble and down-to-earth person. I wish him all the best.
He is our PM now. 1st day in office

Anwar is my country Malaysia New PM 10 now!!! Is a difficult journey but Anwar did not give up, he have the strong spirits…🎉 ❤
Long live Anuar Ibrahim.
Al is one in a milioun, Just like Nelson Mendela.
May Allah protect AI
LISA PLEASE COMEBACK TO INTERVIEW DSAI AS PRIME MINISTER OF MALAYSIA NO 10.
We must understand where the journalist comes from, as she has to be hard hitting and sharp to get Anwar to give his actual thought process about his plans with Dr. Mahathir on new Malaysia. And I tend to think both Anwar and Dr. Mahathir did the right thing. Given Anwar’s past predicaments, it is not easy for him to compromise with Dr. Mahathir. It is only a man with strong sense of commitment and highest level of maturity can one adopt this approach. That is why most of us are the average people who cannot think too far. Honestly I am of the opinion that the journalist had done a good job by putting the toughest questions to Anwar for his best answers. Otherwise she is another average journalist doing a normal job as done by most people in the profession.
Hook Kim Hin very true
She was a bit wrong, Mahathir did put Anwar in jail the first time in 1998, after which he was released in 2004.
It was Najib Razak that puts him in jail the second time in 2015, until he got the royal pardon last month.
tokmoh2000 , you are right but Anwar seems to favour Najib more than Mahathia. It is indeed sad to see him “kowtow” to the yellow as he doesn’t agree the journalist to reveal how the royalty spend the rakyat’s money. He advise lim guan eng not to expose the one MDB scandal too. Honestly , I don’t trust Anwar as he is not transparent enough.
That is correct not to blame on Tun Mahathir it is Najib should be in the wrong for putting DS Anwar into jail. Now is Najib turn to be put into jail and it should be done by the present PM. Thank you..
The court, that convicted , him.. And he was send to jail...
@@abdulmuhid1816 Are you seeing DS Najib has been imprisoned now??Even Tommy Thomas couldn't prove that DS Najib is guilty.You can't blame DS Najib.Ha5...😤😤😤😡😡😡
No lahhh, Mahathir is the mastermind behind the scene, he don't want Anwar to be Pm.
I just love the way this man speaks. Keep up the good fight, it’s in the hands of Malaysians to hold their leaders accountable from here on, lest we forget.
This man is a fighter, he'll fight until the end which making Malaysia one of best democracies & economic powers in the world.
Village boy : Good luck
democracy is about numbers
The more the ignorance the more is the chaos...
the journalist is trying to find a way to play with anwar emotion against mahathir but it does not work .. anwar have been able to control the situation..congrate anwar you are great
So true
One day, he will receive the Nobel Laureate prize for peace.
lol everyone. She's a good journalist. Asking the hard questions that need to be answered. Speaking to Anwar as more than an equal. Western journalists have different training and tact, and she's managed to get the answers out of Anwar. Most Malaysian interviewers just regurgitate the same predictable questions to the point that they are superfluous because you'd know Anwar's answers to them. At 12:12 when she asked Anwar if he wanted to be PM, I wish he had a much stronger response. He should of said 'Yes, I do, and I am the best candidate/most qualified etc.', instead of saying it was consensus, or that he should be given the chance. Didn't express his desire enough. No one wants a half hearted leader.
T K if he answe with full confidence than it will be issue in Malaysia, people who before this anti with him will say now you see he admit he's gila kuasa. I think he done well by answering that way.
Come on BBC, surely u have a better journalist.
John Johnson come on BBC. Surely you can't let these uneducated peasant speak like this on your channel. Sort it out.
John must have been brainwashed by BBC for so long , so sad that they have to insult someone who didn't even use any foul languages to start an argument
still better than yellow evil
Its not their job to be polite. Leaders should be grilled and penetrated so that they show true colours
the journalist is talking rubbish and trying to instill fear
Great leader of Malaysia!
The interviewer doubts too much. There's a lot of trust between Dr M and Anwar and his wife now. When the opposition won, the King wanted to make Anwar's wife the PM, but she said there's an agreement between her and Dr M. Dr M should be very grateful to Anwar and wife.
MINDisLIFE : i bet if the current Agong is the sultan of johor , selangor or perak ..his majesty would not offered the pm’s post to anwar’s wife
The Agong and the royalty should not involve in politic as we all know they don’t like Mahathia.
Mee Shar Foo : so what’s ur expectation or version should the agong and all the malay sultans should be ??? A muppet ??? Strip out their power and status ??? Ambitious2... stop playing with fire .. when that time comes, non of ur so called malays pal wanna risk their necks for u ... ok cheng ?
lo bahasa pakatan haprak
I dont know if PKR would have won without Mahathir's support. The public voted for Tun M and PH, the whole plot of the past election was Tun M amending his mistakes of his dark past and moving towards a true democracy. This man was no shy to kleptocracy himself. Regardless of the King's so called wisdom, Mahathir owes nobody nothing. The two top minds just got even. So to say a symbiotic relation, they need each other for the present state.
Anwar Ibrahim, what an inspiring leader. Finally, after 4 years, it is now time for him to shine and bring Malaysia towards the right course.
sadly as expected mahathir never change...the old man did use anwar and cannot be trusted...for the last 15 years i've been hoping anwar to be the next PM and even in his 90s mahathir still want to end anwar political career...finally 2022 history has been made..anwar finaly is the tenth prime minister of Malaysia.
Way too rude a tone to address a national leader
It isn't her job to be polite. it is her job to provoke him as far as possible so that his true colours can be revealed. And he does extremely well under pressure.
Might be good for you (and others commenting here) to watch BBC's Hard Talk and see how journalists handle other world leaders and movers and shakers.
booooo
normal journalism bro
she is doing her job
way should he be addressed any different
if not we should be more critical to leaders and pepol in power and roast them harder
Liege Lord unsucessful interview
@@SharonBakar just wonder if most of the women in the Uk as rude and provocative like this non'sense journalist...
This man became the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia 4 years later on 24 November 2022.
great leader of malaysia
Very biased journalist. She should learn from this mistake
don't blame you for being uneducated.
While I disagree with Tahi Lembu. I also strongly disagree with you.
I appreciate the tough questions that this specific BBC journalist asked.
They were very good questions submitted with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Totally agreed with u
Nick Lim bcos ur anwar is munafik. he is all talk n bull. he should answer to his creator destroying other peoples chances of good deeds.
Anglo speaking..
Before all these tragedy unfolded, i had impression of him as rigid and somewhat stubborn. I mean during his vice prime minister era. Now he looked more mellow and forgiving and open to negotiations. I kinda feel sad and glad for him. Your EExcellency Anuar Ibrahim.. i cherish what you have become.
Proud he be a Prime Minister of Malaysia. 👍👍
What DSAI went through brake my heart.

Happy ending ...make me cried a lot..he is always consistent with the agenda and does not forget the young people
Tun mahathir will be good match for this sacarstic interviewer..
I would like to see that
If Anwar becomes the next PM, Singapore will become HISTORY. The BRITISH never left Singapore, and are in control of everything. If not so, you think Mahathir would not have gotten rid of the Royalty of the Federated states. Well MAHATHIR nearly remove their power grip on the parliament, but suddenly failed. I suspected the BRITISH royalty had a hand in the operational of Malaya, Singapore as well. I remembered when Mahathir first became PM, he wanted to do away with the British control, had asked Malaysians to look East (Japan). But I suspected the Chinese there objected... more the meets the eye... such things relating the British control must be investigated by MALAYSIANS if you really want freedom from the past colonial power. Malaysia is not independent yet.
And today, we Malaysians finally got to see this great individual to become a prime minister.
The man of wisdom. Godspeed Anwar.
He will conquer Mars.
Was this journalist put in prison by Mahathir or was it Anwar? I am kinda confused, LOL..
Jay Z Salvation 😀
Jay Z Salvation is journalist work to ask hard qs duh

I'm happy that all the hardship/obstacles he and his family has gone through, prayers had been answered. And those who framed him, may they tremble in fear as karma does exist, DSAI is proof of that. Congrats DSAI for being Malaysia's 10th PM. Justice has prevailed. I'm looking forward to a better Malaysia, my homeland.
Of course any daughter will get angry, if the father is suffering and was betrayed .
I've seen him in the Mosque 5 days ago with no bodyguard ...
Thank you so much for this video. It helps even for us who live in the region to understand the comings and goings of things that are happening as they happen ...
Malaysia will see its glory days again under the leadership of this great, saintly and brilliant man. 24 years in waiting to become PM. I believe he will be Malaysia's greatest PM! 🙏
Hopfelly so. Insyaallah
ermmmm BBC what did you want from him? The questions were really provocative......should he be moaning screaming and ruining everything ???
what an anger !!
Hope you are happier after making that comment, poor soul awwww.
This is the way media and press journalist in doing an interview just to get more from a person being interview. There must be something concrete is the interview not just for sake of the interview.
he has nothing to prove, he can actually leave us behind and continue with his life, but he chose to stay and fight for the future Malaysian
"what about the young, do you want them to continue with the struggle while the leader enjoying life outside, u cant, u have to endure"
how beautiful is Islam without any revenge and forgiving each other for something better than before
Anwar is a nice guy. Try that on Mahathir, you will have a good match.
zahid salleh I couldn't agree more. I think she knows that hence manipulated this interview in order to show audience that she's in control, or so she thinks she was. Merely because she knows if it's Mahathir, she'll be lambasted with words and sarcasm.
she would get burnt , might even resign
I love this man. A true statesman.
Thank you ya Allah for blessing Malaysia with DSAI as our PM. He is truly full of compassion. Salute, Respect and much love for our PM10. I shall always keep DSAI in my prayers.
Those questions from interviewer were exactly our worries, doubts and uncertainties. Respect Anwar.
dia anak murid nombor satu disiplin tinggi moral tinggi kami rakyat miskin sayangkannya amin
Now BBC has to interview him again
Saya seorang rahyat biasa, saya nak ceritakan dgn negara Malaysia , Malaysia adalah sebuah negara yang kaya di mata negara2 barat, Malaysia ada petroleum, gas asli , kelapa sawit ( world no.1 seketika dahulu) , pakok getah( also world no.1), pelabuhan2 yang berpotensi, tak ada gempa bumi, boleh bercucuk tanam 365 hari, kenapa boleh jadi teruk sangat keadaan sekarang , ini adalah Pentabiran kerajaan yang gagal , terimalah kenyataan wahai rahyat Malaysia, semoga kerajaan ds Anwar sekarang kemarikan kemilagan di masa dulu , Malaysia boleh ! Malaysia boleh !
Saya setuju dengan kenyataan awak ni. Menteri menteri dulu hidup senang, duit berlambak tak habis 7 keturunan tapi rakyat semua kaum ramai yang susah. Sampai ada yg terpaksa buat 2 kerja untuk cari pendapatan lebih. Kos hidup makin tinggi. Saya menaruh harapan tinggi agar kerajaan pimpinan DS Anwar Ibrahim naikkan balik negara kita dan rakyat tak hidup susah dah
Congratulations sir, from Bangladesh. We know you are a great leader. God bless.
Our PM.
The last part 21:45 is what the fight has been about all along. We are with you DSAI
His grace at the Cross!
There is nothing wrong with the journalist and her methods of questioning. That is what journalism in a freer environment looks like. Give Anwar some credit. He is educated and well read. Our kampung boy is an intellectual who can hold his own. This interview made me cry. He is up there amongst people like Ghandi, Bhutto, Aung San Suu Kyi and Mandela. And the challenge for proponents of democracy who manage to leave incarceration out of the front door: Can they remain faithful to their ideals and not be blinded and swayed but those who opened the prison door for them. I hope Anwar will be able to catch up, reflect and enjoy his time with people nearest and dearest to him before getting thrown back into the colosseum. I hope to God Tun Mahathir honours the deal (I still don't trust him, but I need to believe). We do need someone to take Malaysia to another level of cultural philosophical maturity and I believe his experience now equips him with the wisdom to do that. I feel proud whenever I watch my leaders response with genuine answers and conduct themselves with such elegance and dignity especially in internationally broadcasted interviews.
Lessons learnt: A betrayer once, a betrayer forever. Don't ever trust a betrayer even he/she appears like saint all of a sudden.
Iife is an ARDUOUS JOURNEY, ESPECIALLY FOR A POLITICIAN WHO HAS VISION AND IDEAS , ITS A GRT RISK SOMETHING A FARSIGHTED POLITICIAN NEEDS TO WEIGH AND BALANCE.A GAME OF THRONE . HE ALONE CANT DO IT, IT TAKES A NATION WHO WANTS TO SEE CHANGES.
@@halimsoraya8584 Of course taxing. However he had shown professionalism in his answers that many might think too naive or ignorant. In the Game of Throne, everybody knew their roles well. Let us unite in prayers sending him positive vibration to break all barriers to execute his plans. At least this is what I could offer him from far.
Hes so Amazingly, Allah blessings him Always.. a good leadership ever... Congratulations!!
Yeah that's our prime minister that we have been waiting for years.
Welcome back to the office sir. Please make Malaysia great again.
And now, at last, he is Prime Minister of Malaysia. Let us hope that the kindness shown in this interview will be supported by a shrewd political acumen to fend off the inevitable plotting by the enemies of democracy, pluralism and freedom to out him or stymie reforms
its remarkable how firm and professional anwar bout those personal trust issue. he keep on saying for malaysia, and dats make me in tears. and today i wanna tell the interviewer dont mess with my PM.
ANWAR IS GOOD LEADER NO ONE CAN CHALLENGE HIM
The interviewer started being quite skeptical and swinging hard, but you can almost see her transition in the middle of the interview, gradually finding greater respect for Anwar.
This journalist appears hard but at the end of the interview we know the sincere truth from Anwar - Tun M current relationships
WHOAAA he is so well spoken
Anwar Ibrahim, you are our PM. Our PM
❤🎉
Very polite and articulate. I hope he is going to unite the country 's peoples and treat everyone equally
24th November 2022 - congratulations Anwar , you are the Prime Minister of Malaysia
Finally, no more a Prime Minister in waiting.
