The 2.6km walk, organised by the Malaysian Bar, began at the Palace of Justice in Putrajaya and concluded around 3pm on Jul 14 with the handover of a memorandum to the Prime Minister’s Office.
PUTRAJAYA: Hundreds of Malaysian lawyers marched to the office of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on Monday (Jul 14) and handed over a letter with four key demands.
These include the immediate appointment of top judges and a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into alleged political interference in the judiciary.
The lawyers, dressed in black suits and holding placards, chanted slogans before commencing their walk to the Prime Minister’s Office at about 2.30pm, according to local news outlet Free Malaysia Today.
The Malaysian Bar, which organised the ‘Walk to Safeguard Judicial Independence’, said the walk is “not political in nature”.
