The CSO Platform for Reform has renewed its call for an independent MACC, free from political influence, in the wake of the High Court’s decision to grant former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA).
The civil society coalition also reiterated its demand to separate the roles of the attorney-general and public prosecutor from the Prime Minister’s Office, saying such a move would help “reinforce the integrity of prosecutorial decisions”.
