Political career
editMember of Parliament (since 2013)
edit2013 general election
editIn the 2013 general election, Anyi made his electoral debut after being nominated by BN to contest for the Baram federal seat. He won the seat and was elected into Parliament as the Baram MP for the first term after narrowly defeating his nephew Roland Engan of Pakatan Rakyat (PR) and another independent candidate by a majority of only 194 votes.[1]
2018 general election
editIn the 2018 general election, despite rumours that a direct member of BN would be nominated instead of Anyi to defend the Baram seat, he was renominated by BN to do so. He defended it and was reelected as the Baram MP for the second term after defeating Roland of Pakatan Harapan (PH) again[2][3] by a majority of 1,990 votes.[4]
2020 political appointments

However, Tiong declined it.[5][6] There was a speculation that Muhyiddin would offer Anyi the appointment as Anyi was another PDP MP but this has never happened.[7] Muhyiddin instead offered Senator and Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) Vice-President Ti Lian Ker the appointment and was accepted by Ti.[8] Instead, he was appointed Chairman of Malaysia Cocoa Board on 20 May 2020 replacing Deputy Minister of Home Affairs II and MP for Ranau Jonathan Yasin.[9][10] He was additionally appointed Chairman of Malaysian Pepper Board on 1 July 2020.[11][12]
