Muhyiddin: LTTE still on terror list, AG no power to interfere

PETALING JAYA: The Attorney General has no power under the law to interfere in the matters of the Home Minister, says Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

The Home Minister said the inclusion of the Liberation of Tamil Tigers Elam in the list of terrorist groups is under the purview of the Home Minister, as stated in the laws of the country.

Tommy had said that mere idol-worshipping does not constitute a crime, adding that there is “no realistic prospect of conviction for the dozen accused on any of the 34 charges”. Muhyiddin said the listing of the LTTE was made under Section 66B of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds From Illegal Activities 2001.
