KUALA LUMPUR - The Attorney-General should explain why murder charges against Vietnamese suspect Doan Thi Huong were not dropped, says newly minted Malaysian Bar president Datuk Abdul Fareed Abdul Gafoor.
"The discretion to charge or not to charge a person lies with the A-G. That has been done on many occasions. "This case has attracted international attention, so there are a lot of questions about why one person is acquitted and the charges against her withdrawn while the other person remains charged," said Mr Abdul Fareed at a press conference during the Malaysian Bar's 73rd AGM at Wisma MCA on Saturday.
The Malaysian Bar resolved to urge the government to abolish draconian laws such as the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2015, Security Offences Act 2012 and the Sedition Act 1948.
