Professor Emeritus Khoo Boo Teik's newly-published book 'Anwar Ibrahim: Tenacious in Dissent, Hopeful in Power' covers 50 years of Anwar's turbulent life, from nationalist student to persecuted politician and ultimate revitalisation as the Malaysia's 10th Prime Minister. We parse through the ideas that have propelled Anwar across the political domain, how he is navigating the whirlwinds of an uneasy political climate, while listeners chime in on their thoughts on PMX.
