Malaysian Bar reiterates call for AG to explain rationale behind dropping high-profile cases

PUTRAJAYA, Jan 14 — The Malaysian Bar today reiterated its call to the attorney general to explain its decision to discontinue several prosecutions, especially in cases involving high-profile figures.

“Central tenets of the rule of law — such as transparency — are building blocks which contribute to public trust and confidence,” he said. “Thus, a measured and perceptive approach is needed. Lack of information will unfortunately only lead to, and fuel, unnecessary speculations,” Kalidas added. On November 16, it was reported that the prosecution withdrew its challenge against the Court of Appeal’s decision to acquit former Tengku Adnan, a former Umno treasurer, in a RM2 million corruption case.
