An interfaith group has questioned whether Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim had referred the tenure extensions of three top judges to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, as stipulated under Article 125 of the Federal Constitution.

In a statement, the Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism and Taoism (MCCBCHST) cited Anwar’s recent remarks that procedures must be followed when judges reach retirement age.
