Tommy Thomas says PAS helped him keep AG job, after Dr M asked him to resign - superadmin - 01-31-2021 Tommy Thomas says PAS helped him keep AG job, after Dr M asked him to resign the next day in 2018 KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 31 — Tan Sri Tommy Thomas has reportedly said that PAS may have helped him stay as attorney general, instead of resigning the next day after his appointment in June 2018 to the country’s top legal post. News portal Malaysiakini cited the full prologue of Thomas’ book My Story: Justice in the Wilderness, after the book was released and made available to the public yesterday. Previously in reports of an excerpt of the prologue released by the memoir’s seller Gerakbudaya, Thomas had suggested that he could have been the attorney general for just a single day, due to Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s concern about the “scale and magnitude of the Malay opposition” to his appointment. Thomas had said he was “utterly astounded” that Dr Mahathir had wanted him to resign the next day, after the prime minister told him in June 2018 that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong had assented to his appointment as attorney general. - More -
