‘They are innocent until found guilty’

KUALA LUMPUR: Several MPs have expressed reservations over a plan to ban MPs facing court charges from House proceedings, saying it would be in violation of the “innocent until proven guilty” principle.Former de facto law minister Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz said he did not agree as any individual, including an MP, cannot be pre-judged.

“My take is that we should stand on the principle that a person is innocent until they are proven guilty,” he said.
