Our buddy Bartholomew Sinos (Form 5 Arts 1, 1976), who is based in Cambodia, happened to be at the VIP Lounge of Phnom Penh International Airport recently. He spotted a familiar face ... Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim was in Phnom Penh for the 5th Asian Renaissance seminar, where he was a keynote speaker. Those interested can read his speech HERE.
So Sinos had the rare opportunity to shake the celebrity politician's hand and also had a small chat with him on general things.
Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim was a former Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia (1993-98), and now de facto leader of the opposition People's Justice Party (or Parti Keadilan Rakyat, PKR).

Hey brother Sinos, rubbing shoulder with powerful people, hoh.
