PENGERANG: The Malaysian Bar has every right to pass a no-confidence vote against Attorney General Tan Sri Idrus Harun and to admonish her for her conduct as Minister in Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform), says Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.

“We are a free country, and I have no qualms about it. Everyone, including bodies, has their beliefs. To me, the government we have today practises democracy and we must accept criticism whether from the people or professional bodies,” the Pengerang MP said when met during a Hari Raya Aidilfitri gathering for her constituency at Dewan Kejora in Bandar Penawar here yesterday.
