Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, whose coalition for the first time took 52% of the popular vote in the last general election, was today convicted for sodomy by Malaysia's highest court.

As the verdict was delivered, Anwar turns and hugs his wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
He then turns to his son, who is seen nodding his head at something that Anwar told him. Anwar then kissed his grandchildren.
"Remember what I told you, you must go to school," Anwar tells his grandson.
His lips quivering, Anwar also hugs his daughters who were in tears.
Anwar keeps assuring his family and other Pakatan Rakyat leaders hugging him that he is all right.
He was overheard telling one of them, "I knew it was bad".
Many of his supporters are crying in court. Patron for people's movement, Negara-ku, Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan comforts Dr Wan Azizah while DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng gave Anwar a bear hug.
Anwar, meanwhile, was also heard telling the Pakatan leaders present "to go see boss".
The court is adjourned for one hour following an application from Anwar's lead counsel Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram.
The mood outside the court room was sombre as many tried to hold back tears. – February 10, 2015.
