PM Anwar lands 13th spot in world’s 500 most influential Muslims list for 2027

Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has secured the 13th position in The Muslim 500: The World’s 500 Most Influential Muslims list for 2027, published by the Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre. Anwar, who has been leading Malaysia's Unity Government under the Pakatan Harapan coalition since 2022, has been recognized for his digital and economic transition strategy under his signature Malaysia Madani framework.

This strategy places a strong emphasis on artificial intelligence, semiconductors, data centres, quantum computing, and energy transition. The report also highlighted Anwar's role in regional peacekeeping, particularly his diplomatic initiatives in easing tensions between Thailand and Cambodia, and his stance on the Palestinian cause, which has made him one of the world's most outspoken heads of state on the issue.
