Ex-AG’s memoir rouses public alarm, court hears
Senior federal counsel Shamsul Bolhassan says former attorney-general Tommy Thomas’ memoir titled ‘My Story: Justice In the Wilderness’ has roused public alarm. – Gerakbudaya pic, June 15, 2023.
He submitted that the establishment of the STF was in accordance with the exercise of the cabinet’s executive powers under article 39 of the Federal Constitution and the formation of the STF was approved by the cabinet, with its primary responsibilities to gather information or conduct preliminary investigations into the contents of the book.
Shamsul said the decision to form the STF was made pursuant to the executive power conferred by article 39 of the Federal Constitution and it was formed validly in accordance with the law. Apart from Fong, the STF comprises Hashim Paijan, Junaidah Kamaruddin, Jagjit Singh Bant Singh, Shaharudin Ali, K. Balaguru, Farah Adura Hamidi and Mohd Najib Surip.
He said the suit was not a plain and obvious case that is suitable for summary determination because it involves novel questions of law, which have hitherto not been determined by courts.
