: The Chief Justice of Malaysia and the country’s judiciary need to be given room to carry out their duties independently and professionally based on facts and laws, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.
According to Anwar, even the Bar Council of Malaysia and the International Commission of Jurists were of the view that defects and weaknesses existed within the present judiciary. “I told the enforcement officials to be firm no matter.... and to Cabinet colleagues as well, every week I tell them that I would not defend them if there are mistakes or evidence of siphoning the country’s wealth,” he said.
“So with the opportunity given, insyaAllah I will ensure action is taken to teach those in the past and present a lesson,” he said.
