CONGRATULATIONS to Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed and the Pakatan Harapan leadership for the apt choice in picking senior lawyer Tommy Thomas as Malaysia’s new Attorney-General (AG), especially considering the immense task that the AG’s Chambers will have to undertake in the days ahead.
Thomas brings the dynamism of private legal practice into the mostly conservative and staid public sector, and this private-public combination – very much prevalent in the US civil service – will augur well for the country. This combination will also enable the prosecution to match talented defence lawyers who have won many high profile cases to the consternation of the Government and nation. Needless to say, there needs to be a qualitative change in the prosecution service.
