Tommy Thomas gives speech in BM, gets cheers not jeers

PETALING JAYA: Attorney General Tommy Thomas decided to silence his critics by giving a speech in Bahasa Malaysia, and the crowd rewarded him with cheers.

The distinguished lawyer has been slammed for his inability to speak the national language proficiently, but a prepared speech – believed to have been to the Judicial and Legal Service Officers Association (Jalsoa) – won over the crowd, as was seen on a video uploaded online Thursday.
