Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, the federal government and two others are seeking to stay a Kuala Lumpur High Court ruling over the recalibration of pensions of army veterans who retired before Jan 1, 2013.

The premier and government, as well as the then senior defence minister Hishamuddin Hussein, and the Armed Forces Council, seek to suspend the Feb 5 civil court decision, pending the defendants’ appeal at the Court of Appeal to nullify the ruling.
