KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 21 (Bernama) — The government is considering the establishment of a dedicated Ministry of Law to ensure greater coherence in the national legal ecosystem, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today.
He said the move would also enable Malaysia to engage more meaningfully with regional partners in advancing the rule of law, particularly with fellow ASEAN member states.
“By aligning ourselves with the best practices of our neighbours, Malaysia will be better placed to shape a more just and responsive regional order,” he said in his keynote address at the ASEAN Law Forum 2025 here today.
Present were Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said, her deputy M. Kulasegaran and ASEAN Secretary-General Dr Kao Kim Hourn.
Anwar said Inclusivity and Sustainability had been adopted as Malaysia’s central theme for its ASEAN Chairmanship in 2025, stressing that inclusivity means the law must serve every person, every community and every generation.
