MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT'S STATEMENT ON THE CONVICTION OF ANWAR IBRAHIM
Following today’s conviction of Anwar Ibrahim, a Malaysian Government spokesperson said:
“The judges will have reached their verdict only after considering all the evidence in a balanced and objective manner. Malaysia has an independent judiciary, and there have been many rulings against senior government figures.
“The police report against Anwar Ibrahim was brought by a private individual – Anwar’s employee and personal assistant – not by the government. As the victim of a serious sexual assault, he had every right to have his case heard in court.
“In this case, exhaustive and comprehensive due process has been followed over many years. That process is now complete, and we call on all parties involved to respect the legal process and the judgment.”
