No such thing, says LFL on statement that AG has no duty to give reasons to the public


KUALA LUMPUR: No public officer, whether it be the Attorney General (AG) or Prime Minister, can exercise his powers at his whim or refuse to disclose reasons, says Lawyers for Liberty (LFL).

"In our democracy, there is no such thing as a public office that is not subject to public scrutiny and accountability," LFL director Zaid Malek said in a statement on Monday (Jan 15).
