Report on the Trial of Anwar Ibrahim
INTER-PARLIAMENTARY UNION 124th Assembly and related meetings Panama City (Panama), 15 - 20 April 2011 Governing Council CL/188/13(b)-R.3 Item 13(b) Panama City, 15 April 2011 COMMITTEE ON THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF PARLIAMENTARIANS f CASE No. MAL/15 - ANWAR IBRAHIM - MALAYSIA THE TRIAL OF ANWAR IBRAHIM Report on the trial of Datuk Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim in the High Court of Malaysia observed on behalf of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) MARK TROWELL QC March 2011 __________________________________________________________________________________________ Introduction Datuk Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim (“Anwar Ibrahim”) was in the 1990s the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia. In 1998 Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad dismissed him after he was charged with allegedly sodomizing his wife’s driver and acting corruptly by attempting to interfere with the police investigation. He was convicted and imprisoned after trial, but released when Malaysia’s Federal Court overturned the conviction in September 2004. The Federal Court’s decision was for Anwar Ibrahim the culmination of a six-year struggle for justice after pleading his innocence through the various tiers of the Malaysian court system. During his lengthy period of incarceration, Anwar Ibrahim became the symbol of political opposition to the Mahathir regime. Amnesty International declared him to be a prisoner of conscience, stating that he had been arrested in order to silence him as a political opponent. On 26 August 2008, Anwar Ibrahim won the by-election for the parliamentary seat of Permatang Pauh with a majority of more than 15,000 votes, returning to Parliament as leader of the three-party opposition alliance known as Pakatan Rakyat (PKR). -

Arab Malaysian Finance Bhd and Serac Asia Sdn Bhd v. Sepakat Insurance Brokers Sdn Bhd, a High Court can set aside an order of another High Court of concurrent jurisdiction that have been obtained in breach of rules of natural justice This was an appeal against the High Court’s decision allowing, among others, the plaintiff/1st respondent’s action for a declaration that he was a bona fide purchaser and proprietor of a piece of land which he had purchased pursuant to a Sale and Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) between him and the 1st defendant/2nd respondent. The land was registered under the 1st defendant’s father’s name, Tan Yew Lin (“TYL”) and upon TYL’s death, the 1st defendant inherited the land. TYL had a brother by the name of Tan Tuan Kam (“TTK”), who married the 2nd defendant and had a son who was the 3rd defendant. TTK had also passed away. The 2nd and 3rd defendants contended, inter alia, that the land was registered under TYL’s name although TTK was the one who bought it, because TTK wanted to help TYL who was then unemployed; and upon a promise made by TYL that he would later transfer the land to TTK. -
