KUALA LUMPUR, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has extended his condolences to the family of former Malaysian Bar President Manjeet Singh Dhillon, who passed away on Monday at the age of 82.

He also described Manjeet as a good friend and an exceptional lawyer with deep expertise in his field.
