No political hand in public prosecutor appointments under constitutional amendments, says AG


KUALA LUMPUR: The Constitution (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2026, which seeks to separate the roles of the Attorney General and the Public Prosecutor, makes no provision for the Prime Minister in the appointment of the Public Prosecutor.

Attorney General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar said under the proposed amendments, the appointment would rest solely with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, subject to the consent of the Conference of Rulers, for a fixed term of seven years.
