Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has been criticised for accusing Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin of criminal defamation - an offence that carries a prison sentence.

In a statement today, Lawyers for Liberty (LFL) director Zaid Malek said doing so would have a chilling effect on legitimate government criticism.

The proper remedy, said Zaid, was for Anwar to use the civil courts instead to clear his name.

"The purpose of the police report is clearly to silence criticism against Anwar by Muhyiddin and potentially others who choose to criticise Anwar," said Zaid.
