Though jailed former opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim was supposed to appear in court today for the submissions of his hearing against the Election Commission (EC), the order to produce (OTP) Anwar was cancelled on short notice.

As such, his lawyers intend to apply to the court to rescind the cancellation of the OTP.

"My client has a fundamental right under the constitution to be present at the hearing of this appeal and we propose to file a motion moving an order from this court to rescind the administrative order given by the registrar," Anwar's counsel Gopal Sri Ram said at the Court of Appeal in Putrajaya today.
