The Bar Council has received many queries from lawyers and members of the public regarding the comments attributed to Tuan Haji Mohamed Apandi Ali as reported in the local media on or around 14 August 2000 in relation to the judgement and sentence imposed on Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim by the Kuala Lumpur High Court on 8 August 2000. The Bar Council wishes to clarify that the opinion reported is the personal view of Tuan Haji Mohamed Apandi Ali and is certainly not the view of the Malaysian Bar.
The statement made by the Vice–President on 9 August 2000 is the official view of the Malaysian Bar. Furthermore, the Bar Council also wishes to point out that Tuan Haji Mohamed Apandi Ali is not the current Chairman of the Criminal Law Committee of the Bar Council as has been reported.
