Former opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim today appointed lawyers to represent him in his qazaf (bearing false witness) review amidst them saying that it would be a challenge for them to get instructions from their client as he remains in prison.

According to lawyer Kamar Ainiah Kamaruzaman, they had wanted to seek further instructions from Anwar and had applied to meet with him for an hour today but their request was rejected by the Kuala Lumpur Syariah Court of Appeal registrar.
