Anwar Ibrahim Appeals High Court Ruling on Legal Immunity

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has filed an appeal with the Court of Appeal. This follows the High Court's rejection of his request to refer eight legal questions to the Federal Court. The questions concern his immunity from civil lawsuits. Anwar's lawyer, Datuk Seri K. Rajasegaran, confirmed the appeal, stating it was filed on Wednesday at the Court of Appeal registry in Putrajaya. "The appeal is due to Anwar's dissatisfaction with the High Court judge's decision," Rajasegaran said. The High Court judge, Justice Roz Mawar Rozain, ruled on Wednesday that Anwar's application did not meet the requirements of Section 84 of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964. The appeal is a significant development in the ongoing legal proceedings against the Prime Minister. The outcome will have implications for the political landscape of Malaysia.
