AG 'disappointed' with tribunal decision not to probe ex-EC members


KUALA LUMPUR: Attorney General Tommy Thomas (pic) is "disappointed" that the tribunal set up to look into alleged offences by six former Election Commission (EC) members in the 14th General Election has decided not to proceed because it would be academic and expensive.

"I think right-thinking people in Malaysia would question: Does it matter if it takes two months and is expensive to inquire the truth?" he said to reporters on Friday (May 24) after the tribunal announced its decision.
