General : Need For Orange Detention Garb Before Charges Should Be Reconsidered - Anwar

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 4 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim proposed that individuals who fully cooperate with investigations should not have to wear orange detention garb when brought to court before they are formally charged.

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.
