SHAH ALAM: Perikatan Nasional is calling on Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to clarify allegations regarding the recent leak of Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC) meeting minutes.
PAS Information Chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari (pic) stated that if these allegations are proven true and cannot be refuted, they could impact the integrity of the judicial institution and the Prime Minister's position.
"The Prime Minister is urged to promptly provide an open explanation to the public," he said in a Facebook post on Sunday (July 13).
Earlier, a document purported to be an excerpt of JAC meeting minutes dated May went viral on social media, raising questions about the transparency and independence of the judicial institution.
Ahmad Fadhli also emphasised that anyone involved in undermining the judiciary should be judged without prejudice.
"A warning was also issued to all members of the judiciary, particularly senior judges, not to collude with any attempts to damage the justice system. Justice, when upheld, will not recognise rank or status," he asserted.
Meanwhile, Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) Information Chief Datuk Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz stated in a Facebook post that the allegations have further eroded public trust in the Prime Minister.
Tun Faisal added that an independent and transparent investigation should be conducted into the alleged leak of the JAC meeting minutes.
