Govt must be committed to institutional reforms, says civil society

PETALING JAYA: The government must show a serious commitment to institutional reforms following the poor handling of high-profile cases by the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC), says civil society.

In a statement on Tuesday (Sept 12), the Civil Societies of All Party Parliamentary Group Malaysia on Integrity, Governance and Anti-Corruption said that it was deeply concerned over recent events in which it said several high-profile corruption cases had been handled poorly by the AGC "under questionable circumstances", and that had resulted in case dismissals and discontinuances.
