Political questions or issues are best not dealt with by the courts as they tend to undermine and weaken the standing of the judiciary. Commenting on Anwar Ibrahim's case, Professor Eugene Tan, Assistant Professor of Law at the SMU said that there had been attempts by both sides of the political divide in Malaysia to drag in the judiciary into their political battles. ?This attempt at judicialisation of politics and the concomitant perception of the politicisation of the judiciary results in the judiciary being undermined. It enervates the standing of the judiciary,? he told Bernama.
