PETALING JAYA: Public confidence in the attorney-general (AG) will be eroded following the withdrawal of a criminal charge against former minister Tengku Adnan Mansor, two lawyers said today.

A Srimurugan said such a negative perception could not be avoided as it was a high profile case and had caught the attention of the public over the last two years.

“What happened today really has undermined public confidence in the AG and given rise to much speculation,” he told FMT.

The lawyer said this in response to the High Court granting a discharge not amounting to an acquittal to former Federal Territories minister Tengku Adnan over a RM1 million graft case.
