Anwar Ibrahim to Appeal High Court Decision; Eight Constitutional Questions at Stake Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Malaysia's Prime Minister, will be appealing the High Court's recent decision to reject his request to refer eight constitutional questions to the Federal Court. This legal challenge centers on Anwar Ibrahim's immunity from lawsuits, a matter with potentially significant implications for the nation's political landscape. According to Anwar's lawyer, Datuk R. Krishnan, the High Court's decision was met with disagreement. Krishnan stated, "We respectfully disagree with this outcome. The eight questions raised were not abstract or academic; they concern serious unresolved constitutional issues." The questions touch upon the protection of executive functions, including those of the Prime Minister's office, and the scope of specific articles within the Federal Constitution. The appeal process is expected to be closely watched by Malaysians, given the potential impact on the Prime Minister's ability to govern effectively.
