Explain why high profile cases dropped, AG told

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Bar has called on Attorney-General Idrus Harun to provide reasons for the discontinuation of criminal cases of public interest.

Its president, AG Kalidas, said transparency was a central tenet in the rule of law and the basis for public trust and confidence.

Kalidas said the attorney-general was given wide discretionary powers to institute proceedings for a criminal offence. As such, the powers must be exercised with full transparency.
