Anti-graft body can probe judge, admit law experts


PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) probe into a judge is not a violation of the principle of separation of powers as it is clear the agency’s task is to investigate, say legal experts.

They said it is not wrong for the MACC to initiate an investigation into Court of Appeal judge Datuk Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali as the law authorises them to do so.
