KOTA KINABALU: The Attorney General (AG) has been urged to explain why he chose not to prosecute one of the four key suspects involved in the Sabah Watergate scandal.

Sabah Law Society (SLS) president Roger Chin said the case, which was part of the state’s biggest graft probe, attracted high public interest and it was important for the AG including the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to explain the reasons as it "strikes high in the faith of the administration and governance."
