Talks on separation of AG-Public Prosecutor powers heartening, says think tank

PETALING JAYA: Recent proceedings by the Parliamentary Special Select Committee (PSSC) on Human Rights, Election and Institutional Reforms regarding separation of the Attorney General (AG) and Public Prosecutor's (PP) roles have been viewed as encouraging.

The Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (Ideas) said it met PSSC chairman William Leong and proposed that the AG should be a member of the Cabinet while the PP should be appointed and head the Office of Public Prosecutions.
