KOTA TINGGI – Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said said it is the right of the Malaysian Bar to pass a no-confidence vote against Attorney-General Tan Sri Idrus Harun.
“The no-confidence vote was part of a resolution on judicial independence and upholding the rule of law, which was adopted at the Malaysian Bar’s Extraordinary General Meeting on Wednesday (May 10),” she said.
Azalina stressed that the government must be open in accepting even negative feedback from the people or from professional bodies such as the legal body.
“Malaysia is a free country. I don’t mind...for me, it’s their right.
“The Madani government is a government that practices democracy, and we must be open to criticism,” she told reporters at the Aidilfitri open house of Pengerang parliamentary constituency at Dewan Kejora Bandar Penawar here today. – Bernama, May 12, 2023
