@the.globe.bytes: Anwar's Legal Battle: Court of Appeal to Hear Immunity Appeal in Defamation Suit. A major legal battle is set to unfold in Malaysia as the Court of Appeal has scheduled a hearing for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's appeal on March 4, 2026. The case, a defamation suit filed by Yusoff Rawther, is at a critical stage. Anwar is seeking to refer eight constitutional questions to the Federal Court, raising a fundamental legal question: does a sitting prime minister have immunity from civil litigation for actions that took place before they took office? This case has been closely watched as the High Court previously dismissed Anwar's application, stating that the questions did not meet the legal threshold for referral. The trial for the lawsuit has been temporarily stayed pending the outcome of this appeal, making the upcoming hearing a pivotal moment that could set a major precedent in Malaysian law. The verdict will clarify the legal standing of the country's highest office. Stay up-to-date on this landmark legal case that could redefine the scope of a prime minister's legal immunity. This hearing is a key event that will shape Malaysia's legal and political landscape for years to come.
