00:00
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has rejected suggestions that he is seeking personal
00:05
immunity from legal proceedings following the dismissal of his application to refer
00:10
eight legal questions arising from a civil suit filed by a former aide to the federal court.
00:15
Anwar's remarks come amid debate surrounding a civil suit filed by his former research assistant
00:20
Yusuf Rother, in which questions have arisen about whether the Prime Minister is seeking
00:24
legal immunity to avoid standing trial. In a Facebook post, Anwar said the issue
00:29
was never about seeking personal immunity or avoiding legal scrutiny.
00:34
He added that it concerns the integrity of the constitutional system and the need to
00:37
protect high public office from lawsuits that may be strategically timed, politically motivated,
00:43
or disruptive to institutions. He added that the legal process will continue as required
00:48
and that he would continue to discharge his responsibilities without distraction or compromise.
00:55
At a press conference after the Kuala Lumpur High Court dismissed Anwar's application,
00:59
his lawyer, K. Rajasegaran, said his legal team will immediately file an appeal to the Court of
01:04
Appeal. Rajasegaran said the eight questions submitted were neither abstract nor academic in nature,
01:10
but pertained to serious and unresolved constitutional issues.
