Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has once again secured a place on the list of the world's 500 most influential Muslim personalities, ranking 13th in the 2027 edition.
The recognition is being viewed as a significant international acknowledgment of Malaysia's standing, given Anwar's contributions to politics, diplomacy, economic development and social affairs.
The information was reported in an article published by World of Buzz on Thursday, citing the 2027 edition of The Muslim 500: The World's 500 Most Influential Muslims.
The report highlighted Anwar's government's initiatives in Malaysia's economic and digital transformation, the development of technology-driven industries and changes in the energy sector. It also highlighted various initiatives undertaken under the country's 'Malaysia MADANI' development framework.
Anwar's diplomatic engagement on the international stage was another key factor highlighted in the report. Particular attention was given to his diplomatic role in Southeast Asia, efforts to ease tensions between Thailand and Cambodia, and his consistent support for Palestine.
The publication also noted that Anwar founded and served as president of the Malaysian Islamic Youth Movement (ABIM) in 1971. He subsequently held several key government positions, including deputy prime minister and finance minister, before becoming prime minister.
His advocacy for humanitarian assistance to Gaza, protection of civilians and various issues concerning the Muslim world also received attention in the report.
Five leaders jointly occupy the top position in the 2027 ranking: Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Pakistan's Army Chief General Syed Asim Munir and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto ranked 16th on the list.
Meanwhile, Palestinian physician Dr Hussam Abu Safiya was named the 2027 'Man of the Year' for his contributions and humanitarian role.
