Anwar loses bid over sacking

By Straits Times Interactive - SE ASIA

KUALA LUMPUR – MALAYSIA’S former deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim has lost his final court battle to declare as unlawful his dramatic sacking in 1998, his lawyer said on Monday.

Mr Anwar was sacked from his posts as deputy premier and finance minister by then prime minister Mahathir Mohamad in September 1998. Mr Anwar launched a legal suit the same year, arguing the move was unconstitutional.
