GEORGE TOWN: Tommy Thomas says he was “surprised” that people did not want him as attorney-general just because he was a non-Malay.

He said he thought there would be enough support, particularly from the Pakatan Harapan side, as he was their “traveller AG”.

Thomas said a traveller AG was obliged to be aligned to the policies of the government he served.

Despite that, he said there was opposition, which he regrets. He said his job was a professional one that did not require him to be of a certain race.


“The country needs a legal adviser. Does it really matter what his race is?” he asked in an interview with former diplomat Dennis Ignatius on YouTube.
