Attorney General acts independently


I REFER to the report “Hanafiah questions how graft cases circular was leaked” (The Star, Feb 11).

The Attorney General (AG) is the principal adviser to the government of Malaysia on matters of law and legal opinion. His role and responsibilities is to advise the Yang di-Pertuan Agong or the Cabinet or any minister upon such legal matters, and to perform such other duties of a legal character as may from time to time be referred or assigned to him, and to discharge the functions conferred on him by the Constitution or any other written law.
