Malaysian reformist leader Anwar Ibrahim has been freed from jail as last week's election results continue to reshape the country's political landscape. Jailed under former Prime Minister Najib Razak, the prospect of freedom emerged after Razak was unseated by 92-year-old Mahathir Mohamad's surprise victory in the general election. Anwar received a royal pardon for his 2015 conviction and was released on Wednesday (May 16). Footage Credit: ReutersMusic Credit: Audioblocks 'Dark Hip Hop'
