00:00I would like to welcome Tato Sri Anwar bin Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Malaysia, to deliver this keynote address of Asia's International Conference on Governance and Integrity, 2025.
00:12This morning I had, of course, lengthy discussion with the Council of Rulers, Malay Raja Raja, and I think let them decide, and tomorrow hopefully there will be an announcement that would clearly dispel these so-called negative perceptions.
00:26But as you know, in politics, and I hope it does not affect the position of the Bar Council, because that was what they believed in, and although I vehemently deny it, it did not satisfy at least some of them, probably some political ploys, but now that this is not the case, I don't want them to come and say, no, no, no, you did it because you were under pressure.
00:54As Alina knows that, the Chief Secretary knows the fact that there was never a case, and names have been, you know, questioned, or what seemed to be compromised has never been presented to the king or for the Malay rulers.
01:11So I rest my case, and I hope, insyaAllah, when the announcement is made, things will prove that this government, the Madani government, is committed to reform, including the principle of judicial independence.
