KUALA LUMPUR - Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today gave assurance that his Unity Government will continue defending the country’s judiciary independence at all costs.

He also rubbished the allegations over disconcerting rumblings’ that the executive arm of the organs of the state is interfering with due process and strong-arming the judiciary.

"There is not one iota of truth in these scurrilous allegations, which are now being repeated ad nauseam in the social media.

"Let me reiterate what I have said before; As Prime Minister, not only have I not encroached upon even a single inch of the sacred terrain of the judiciary, but I shall defend, at all costs, the independence of the judiciary,” he said at the 14th ASEAN Law Association (ALA) General Assembly 2023.

He said there was a time in Malaysia’s history where certain black sheep of the judiciary, working hand in glove with certain powers that be; committed gross transgressions against its very institution and feeding the virulent spread of tyranny and arbitrariness on the other. - MORE TO COME
