Which honorific?

The lead introduces Anwar with the honorific "Datuk Seri", whereas the infobox uses "Dato' Sri". We should be consistent. Which is it to be? WWGB (talk) 07:01, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Malaysian politicians' infoboxes getting extremely long and unwieldy

Hi,

Is it just me or the infoboxes for Malaysian politicians in general are getting extremely long and unwieldy lately? They used to be shorter and similar to infoboxes of politicians in other countries. Now it includes information such as majorities in each election and long lists of deputies. I frankly don't think these are particularly necessary and listing these inside the article itself will do a better job. Infoboxes are supposed to give a brief overview of a person's career. I would suggest either removing them from the infobox or using collapsible lists. My other suggestion is to create collapsible sections (e.g. this infobox on former UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Ken Clarke's page) for parliamentary offices and junior cabinet positions.

There might be a better forum for me to post this. I would appreciate any redirect if that's the case. Stv59 (talk) 07:56, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It has gotten even less concise since then! Stv59 (talk) 13:09, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New infobox image suggestion

Indonesian Government recently published a new photo of Anwar Ibrahim, which seemed to be a perfect replacement for the new infobox image. He seemed more stern, though this photo makes him better, as his eyes are more visible than previous image and his position does not look to awkward.
