KUALA LUMPUR, July 10 — The National Legal Aid Foundation will be getting an increased allocation of RM10 million to help those who cannot afford to hire lawyers to engage a legal counsel so they can be represented in court.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today said the increased allocation is the government’s way to recognise that access to justice is a fundamental right. He recalled the years he served in prison and shared his observation of how hundreds of other prisoners were given a chance to defend themselves in a fair trial through YBGK.
“Access to justice has been greatly enhanced and YBGK has become the largest provider of legal aid in the country. “The government acknowledges the role of the Malaysian Bar in this initiative,” Anwar, who is also finance minister, said in his speech at the International Malaysia Law Conference 2023 here.
