‘Apandi’s lies show why AG’s role must be separate from public prosecutor’

KLANG – The recent court judgement that found former attorney-general Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali had deceived on issues relating to 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) highlights the importance of separating the role of the AG and public prosecutor. 

Klang MP Charles Santiago said following this recent development, it is incumbent on Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob to make the separation of powers his highest priority now.

“One of the reasons this (abuse by Apandi) happened is because of the very powerful nature of the AG, where he is both the investigator and the prosecutor,” he told reporters today.

“There also appears to be collusion between him and the former prime minister (Datuk Seri Najib Razak). This must stop. Therefore, the government must separate the AG and the public prosecutor.
