Anwar Ibrahim telah tersenarai sebagai orang yang ke 32 Pemikir Terbaik Dunia. Majalah Foreign Policy yang berpusat di Washington DC telah menyenaraikan 100 individu yang telah menyumbangkan buah fikiran terbaik mereka untuk kemakmuran masyarakat dunia.
Ben Bernanke tercatat sebagai orang pertama. Dick Cheney tercatat pemikir yang ke 13. Manakala Paul Kennedy, seorang sejarawan di Universiti Yale adalah pemikir yang ke 100.
Setelah disemak keseluruhan 100 nama pemikir terbaik dunia, saya tidak terjumpa nama Najib Razak, Mahathir apa tah lagi Abdullah Badawi.
Tahniah kepada Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dan tahniah juga kepada Pakatan Rakyat kerana mempunyai pemimpin yang ideanya diakui memberi manfaat kepada masyarakat sejagat.
Apalah nak jadi dengan Datuk Seri Najib ni. Satu apa pengiktirafan yang positif pun dia tidak dapat.
32. Anwar Ibrahim
for challenging the Muslim world to embrace democracy.
Opposition leader | People's Justice Party | Malaysia
Two decades ago, it would have been impossible to imagine Anwar pulling together rural Malays, ethnic Indians and Chinese, and Islamists into a coherent political bloc. Back then, Anwar was deputy prime minister in a de facto single-party state that espoused preferential treatment for ethnic Malays. It was a policy that Anwar had pushed from his days as a youth leader right up until 1997, when he denounced his patron, then-Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, for corruption. He would spend the next six years in solitary confinement on trumped-up charges for that political betrayal. And he would leave jail in 2004 with a bold message for change in a country now at the forefront of the struggle for democracy in the Muslim world. Today, Anwar's political career is blossoming, despite a new, politically motivated indictment. Abroad, he has become an outspoken advocate of religious tolerance. - Foreign Policy
