KUALA LUMPUR, June 27 — Attorney General (AG) Tan Sri Idrus Harun should be terminated with immediate effect for breach of confidentiality when he issued a public statement to clarify the legal position under the Federal Constitution regarding the King’s constitutional functions to summon for Parliament to meet, the Pakatan Harapan (PH) Presidential Council said today.
PH said in a statement that the AG should only provide his advice directly to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and keep it confidential, not by announcing them openly as it would be viewed as a form of transgression by belittling the views of the Malay Rulers in the present context.
“The statement has sidelined the spirit of the Constitution and depicts the AG’s sidelining of the Malay Rulers institution to protect a government that wishes for absolute power without any control or limit to its tenure.
