Anwar to continue challenge of Parliament’s 2021 suspension

PUTRAJAYA: Anwar Ibrahim is proceeding with his appeal in the Federal Court to challenge former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s decision to advise the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to suspend Parliament during the 2021 emergency.

Anwar’s lawyer, Sangeet Kaur Deo, said she had instructions from him to argue the case since the Federal Court granted him leave last year.

“He has given the nod to proceed with the appeal despite his appointment as the prime minister,” she told FMT.

The Federal Court is scheduled to fix an appeal hearing date today.
