政府发言人指出，大马拥有独立的司法制度，早前也曾做出许多不利资深政府领袖的裁决，政府呼吁各界，尊重联邦法院的裁决。
首相办公室今日中午针对安华罪成判决后，发文告这么表示。
文告全文如下：
“The judges will have reached their verdict only after considering all the evidence in a balanced and objective manner. Malaysia has an independent judiciary, and there have been many rulings against senior government figures.
“The police report against Anwar Ibrahim was brought by a private individual – Anwar’s employee and personal assistant – not by the government. As the victim of a serious sexual assault, he had every right to have his case heard in court.
“In this case, exhaustive and comprehensive due process has been followed over many years. That process is now complete, and we call on all parties involved to respect the legal process and the judgment.”
