PETALING JAYA: The appointment of the five Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC) members should not be done by the Prime Minister, says the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan.

Instead, other institutions such as the Malaysian Bar, the Sabah Law Society, Advocates Association of Sarawak and the Parliament Selection Committee should be tasked with the job, Tuanku Muhriz Ibni Almarhum Tuanku Munawir said yesterday.
