Anwar says orange detention garb unnecessary for those cooperating with investigations

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has stated that individuals fully cooperating with investigations should not be required to wear orange detention garb when brought to court, according to <source 9b62d815-c6c>. He believes this practice should be reconsidered to avoid creating negative public perceptions of those under investigation without facing charges.

Anwar made these remarks after Friday prayers at Masjid Bukit Indah in Ampang Jaya, Kuala Lumpur, on September 4, 2023. A former minister was brought to court in orange detention garb on Tuesday for a remand application in connection with a hotel lease investigation involving the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in Saudi Arabia, as reported by Bernama.
