KUALA LUMPUR: Sultan Muhammad V came up with the names of several candidates, including that of a non-Muslim, for the Attorney General’s post.

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who met with the sultans and finally the King over the matter, revealed that Sultan Muhammad V told him he had considered other candidates who were “equally or more competent” than the one suggested by the Pakatan Harapan government, including one who was a former senior judge, a non-Muslim.
