The Court of Appeal today issued an ad-interim stay on all proceedings involving a civil suit brought against Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim by Muhammed Yusoff Rawther, who accused him of sexual assault in 2018.

This is after a three-judge panel allowed Anwar's application to put the civil suit on hold pending the disposal of the prime minister's bid to get a full stay.

The hearing on the full stay application has been set for July 21.
