PETALING JAYA: After the roles of the Attorney General (AG) and Public Prosecutor (PP) are separated, the appointments for both positions must be entrusted to an independent commission, says G25 Malaysia.

"Our position was, and remains, that the Federal Constitution should be amended, specifically Article 145 of the Federal Constitution and Section 376 of the Criminal Procedure Code, among other relevant provisions, to clearly delineate the separate roles of the AG as the government's legal adviser and the PP as the independent authority on prosecutions," said the group of prominent retired civil servants in a statement on Friday (Sept 12).
