YOURSAY | 'Idrus should now relook at the case to ensure that justice is done.'
Going through your statement, attorney-general Idrus Harun, there seems to be many references about “being made to understand” and “being advised”, lending an air of uncertainty of facts and more than a hint of an unwillingness to accept responsibility for events that supposedly occurred in the Attorney-General’s Chambers .As the current AG, the head of your Chambers, you would be expected to make categoric statements of facts, not bandy about ‘understanding’ and ‘being advised’.
If Thomas had sought Sri Ram’s views by way of a minute on Nov 19, would not the actual, and far more paramount decision, to accept the proposal be similarly recorded somewhere? Was this perhaps achieved through a phone call or a chat?Kim Quek: During this lengthy extension , Idrus must have been giving a lot of thoughts over the proposed settlement before he made the final decision to go for the DNAA.
Are we doing justice for the rakyat and will this implicate that abuse and corruption of such scale are now not a crime? Are we setting a precedent by letting others follow the same path?If Thomas had approved in principle, that does not mean he is approving the final offer. ‘Approved in principle’ is subject to so many conditions.
Since Thomas is no longer AG, the new AG takes responsibility and he has to make the decision. Apparently, the new AG has no views of his own.‘By words of mouth’, is this how the top dogs in the Justice Department work? As laypersons, we are flabbergasted by this turn of event.
