KUALA LUMPUR: Attorney-General Tommy Thomas has denied allegations that he failed to advise the Conference of Rulers on the need to commit to the Rome Statute.
Utusan Malaysia reported him as telling reporters that the allegations were false and he would explain the matter on Saturday ."When it's raining, they put the blame on me. When there is no rain, they blame me too," he said.
Mohd Khairul said two law experts were invited to debate the findings by four academics, who advised the Rulers to reject the Rome Statute. The four academics are Universiti Teknologi Mara law professor Datuk Dr Rahmat Mohamad, International Islamic University Malaysia Dr Shamrahayu Abdul Aziz and Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia law lecturers Dr Fareed Mohd Hassan and Hisham Hanapi.
