Constitutional lawyer Syahredzan Johan praises the new Cabinet line-up.

PETALING JAYA: The Parliamentary Select Committee can review Latheefa Koya's newly appointed position as the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner, but it will have no legal affect on the appointment itself, says lawyer Syahredzan Johan.

Syahredzan said Parliamentary committees are supposed to provide checks and balances for executive action, but not to approve or legitimise it.
