PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has reaffirmed his commitment to the rule of law following the High Court's decision to dismiss his application to refer eight constitutional questions to the Federal Court.
He said his application to refer eight constitutional questions to the Federal Court was never about “seeking personal immunity or escaping legal scrutiny”.
“It concerns the integrity of our constitutional system and the need to ensure that high public office is protected from litigation that may be strategically timed, politically motivated, or institutionally disruptive,” he said in a statement posted on Facebook and X.
Anwar said that he remains fully committed to upholding the rule of law, the independence of the judiciary, and the dignity of democratic governance.
“The legal process will continue, and I will continue to discharge my responsibilities without distraction or compromise," he said.
Earlier today, the High Court dismissed the application, which relates to a civil suit filed by former research officer Muhammed Yusoff Rawther in 2021. The trial is scheduled to begin on June 16. - June 4, 2025
