PETALING JAYA: Newly appointed chief commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corrup­tion Com­mis­sion (MACC) Latheefa Koya is not only noted for her legal work in the human rights sphere but also as a plain-speaking lawyer and political party member.Whether it’s anti-death penalty, lock-up deaths, religious freedom, the treatment of migrant workers or about refugees, Latheefa has worked on them all.

Highly outspoken and even described as feisty, Latheefa, 46, who quit PKR on Monday following her MACC appointment, has no qualms about taking anybody to task.
