Keyakinan Masyarakat Antarabangsa

NEW YORK, July 24, 2008

As many of those who have had the privilege to work with him or under his leadership in international institutions, we have heard with deep concern the charges filed against the honorable Datuk Seri Dr. Anwar Ibrahim, in spite of the fact that similar unsubstantiated charges filed ten years ago against him were overturned by the Supreme Court.

We would like, in such circumstances, to reiterate our full confidence in his moral integrity, as a man who has demonstrated, in the discharge of his national and international responsibilities, the highest ethical standards of leadership, fighting for international

We want also to express our confidence that whatever the present political circumstances, the Government of Malaysia will exert a particular restraint in the handling of this case and will demonstrate, by dropping the charges introduced against Dr. Anwar Ibrahim, an exemplary sense of respect for the rights of the individual which are so important to the international standing ofMalaysia.

NEW YORK, 14hb Julai 2008.

Kami yang pernah berpeluang berkhidmat bersama dan di bawah kepimpinan beliau di institusi antarabangsa, mendengar dengan penuh kebimbangan berhubung pertuduhan yang dihadapkan ke atas Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, walaupun pertuduhan yang sama dan tidak berasas yang dihadapkan ke atas beliau 10 tahun dulu telah pun ditolak oleh mahkamah tertinggi negara Malaysia.

Kami ingin mengambil kesempatan ini untuk menyatakan sekali lagi keyakinan kami terhadap integriti moral beliau, dalam menunaikan tanggungjawabnya terhadap negara dan masyarakat antarabangsa, beliau mengamalkan piawaan tertinggi dalam kepimpinan, sentiasa menekankan keadilan, keamanan dan pembangunan sejagat.

Kami juga ingin menyatakan keyakinan kami bahawa apa pun keadaan politik semasa, Kerajaan Malaysia tidak akan bertindak untuk mencampuri urusan kes ini, malah akan menggugurkan dakwaan terhadap Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, sebagai satu contoh bahawa kerajaan ini menghormati hak individu. Ini amat penting buat Malaysia di mata antarabangsa.
