Nov 11: Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has called for the immediate suspension of Attorney General Abdul Gani Patail amid several serious allegations of misconduct as reported by media recently.
In his statement, Anwar urged Prime Minister Najib Razak and Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to respond immediately to the recent allegations by former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad that Attorney General’s Chambers had employed two CIA agents, as claimed by a news portal.
“Coming in the wake of the reports exposing a global spying network by the United States, Australia and other countries conducted on Malaysian soil about which the PM till today has remained absolutely silent, this latest expose is nothing if not shameful and scandalous,” said the Permatang Pauh MP.
In the same breath, Anwar also called on Gani to come clean on the recent allegations “as well as the series of other allegations regarding his illegal and conspiratorial activities linked to his office”, citing the police reports filed by former CID chief of Kuala Lumpur Mat Zain that contained damning allegations against the AG.
“His failure to deny them renders him culpable of the wrong doings alleged and at the very least warrant an immediate suspension of duties,” stressed Anwar, adding that Najib must not ignore public demands for answers while Gani must not be allowed to continue in office.
