A government MP and an activist want Putrajaya to expedite the process of divesting the attorney-general (AG) of his prosecutorial powers, calling it a crucial step in the country’s institutional reform agenda.
At a meeting held following Pakatan Harapan’s setback at the recent Sabah state polls, the coalition’s presidential council, chaired by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, resolved to advance certain reforms within a six‑month timeline.
DAP MP Syahredzan Johan, who attended the meeting, said he hopes the move to split the roles of AG and public prosecutor (PP) will be given priority.
“Beyond that, there should be a two‑term limit for the prime minister and a review of the more draconian aspects of the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma),” he said.
