G25 backs Latheefa’s appointment but urges reform for parliamentary oversight

PETALING JAYA: The Group of 25 Eminent Malays (G25) has backed the appointment of Latheefa Koya as head of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), describing the matter as urgent, but called for immediate reforms for greater parliamentary scrutiny.

Admitting that the process of her appointment was unconventional, the group noted that it still followed constitutional conventions that gave the sitting Prime Minister such authority.
