Pakatan MPs briefed on issues relating to judiciary, tribunal, says Fahmi


PUTRAJAYA: Pakatan Harapan MPs were briefed on various current issues, including the formation of a judicial tribunal, in a closed-door meeting with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, says Datuk Fahmi Fadzil.

The PKR information chief said MPs were also given an explanation regarding Article 125 of the Federal Constitution.

He said the explanation was delivered by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.

Article 125 of the Federal Constitution refers to the appointment, dismissal and conditions of service of Federal Court, Court of Appeal and High Court Judges.

"There was also (an explanation) regarding the formation of a tribunal and several related matters, that's all," he told the media after the meeting at Seri Perdana Complex, here on Monday (July 14).

Fahmi, who is also Communications Minister, said further information regarding matters relating to the judiciary would be announced at the post-Cabinet press conference.

Meanwhile, Fahmi said the nearly two-hour closed-door meeting session with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was well received by Pakatan MPs.

The meeting was a continuation of a similar session with Barisan Nasional MPs on July 11 to clarify several current issues, including on taxes, rumours of RON95 petrol subsidies and issues on the judiciary. – Bernama
