Apex court dismisses bid to remove 'homosexual' remark


PUTRAJAYA: Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has failed in his attempt to expunge a remark in a Federal Court judgment nearly 10 years ago that implied he has homosexual tendencies.

A five-member Federal Court panel, chaired by Chief Judge of Malaya Justice Zulkefli Ahmad Makinudin, yesterday unanimously dismissed Anwar’s review application to have the remark removed from the majority judgment delivered on Sept 2, 2004, by then Federal Court judge Justice Abdul Hamid Mohamad.
