KOTA TINGGI: The Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC) Act 2009 does not carry binding authority in the appointment of judges, says Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.
The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) said the Act’s main role was to screen, evaluate and recommend candidates to the Prime Minister, while appointments to the Federal Court, Court of Appeal, and High Court must still follow Article 122B of the Federal Constitution.
