Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has exceeded his scope of authority by threatening the public over the casino issue, according to Lawyers for Liberty.
Labelling Anwar’s warning as unlawful and unprecedented, its director Zaid Malek asserted that it is not in Anwar's job scope to decide whether anyone has committed any crime.
He also likened such action to authoritarian regimes like former Philippines president Ferdinand Marcos.
