PETALING JAYA: Latheefa Koya’s appointment as the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner continues to be questioned, especially after Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad admitted that it was his sole decision to put her in the hot seat.

While Latheefa, 46, is seen as being highly principled and courageous, organisations such as the Malaysian Bar and Bersih 2.0 are concerned over the process of her appointment and her suitability for the position.
