KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 18 — The unity government is committed to the separation of powers between the attorney general and the Public Prosecutor to ensure the integrity of the legal institutions, says the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.

“Why is it that when you were the government, you didn’t separate the powers of AG and PP? When one of you is prosecuted, you claim that it is a selective prosecution, but when one of us is prosecuted, you say it serves us right. Azalina said this in reply to Datuk Seri Ronald Kiandee and Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin who raised the issue of alleged selective prosecution in court cases involving opposition leaders.

“The AG has the power to prosecute or drop the charges against someone, so when a judge acquits, it doesn’t mean that the person cannot be charged.
