Ex-minister Maszlee Malik says the attorney general, as public prosecutor, should give priority to national security. FMTNews MaszleeMalik LTTE TommyThomas
Former minister Maszlee Malik says Tommy Thomas, the attorney-general, should uphold national security.
Maszlee, who is MP for Simpang Renggam, said Thomas had failed to take into account the national security policies set out by the Home Ministry when he dropped criminal charges against 12 people over alleged links to the now-defunct Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam . He said the power to list or de-list an organisation as a terrorist group rests with the home affairs ministry.
Maszlee also said the AG should prioritise national security or otherwise resign from his post. Even though the AG had different responsibilities as the Public Prosecutor, he should not act against national policies.
