Thomas made Dr M do his bidding and interfere in appointment of judges, declassified report alleges

PETALING JAYA: Four individuals appointed to the top judicial posts in July 2018 differed from those selected by the Judicial Appointment Commission (JAC) and conveyed to then prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in June 2018, according the recently declassified special task force report on former attorney general (AG) Tan Sri Tommy Thomas' memoirs.

The report found that those who were appointed "were exactly the names privately agreed between the prime minister and Thomas as stated at page 338 of the book."
