Judiciary must be free from govt interference to attract investors, says Muhyiddin


KUALA LUMPUR: To draw investors, it is important to ensure that the country’s justice system is truly free of government interference, says Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

“The news of the 47 corruption charges of a senior government leader being dropped on the instructions of the Attorney General after he was called to defend himself in court is not a good example for the independence of the country’s justice system,” he said while debating the 12th Malaysia Plan mid-term review (12MP MTR) in the Dewan Rakyat on Wednesday (Sept 13).
