KUALA LUMPUR, July 14 — Several PKR backbenchers who had objected to the original Bill to decouple the public prosecutor’s role from the Attorney General’s Chambers said today they welcomed the revised edition and would back its enactment.
Subang MP Wong Chen (PKR) cited the move to allow the House of Representatives to vet candidates for the post of public prosecutor as among the key reasons for their backing of the revised Bill.
“We welcome these changes as they meet all our expectations by giving Parliament a greater scrutiny role. As such, we pledge our full support for this Bill,” Wong Chen said at a press conference at the Parliament building here today.
Putrajaya has said it aims to table the draft legislation for its second reading this week.
