Wan Suraya's AG appointment complies with law, says Kulasegaran
KUALA LUMPUR: The appointment of Datuk Wan Suraya Wan Mohd Radzi as Auditor General (AG) is legitimate and in line with the Federal Constitution and Audit Act 1957, said Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) M. Kulasegaran. During the ministry's winding-up session on the AG Report 2/2025, Kulasegaran said there was no arising issue regarding Wan Suraya's appointment and that legal provisions governing the appointment process were clear. "Article 105 of the Constitution provides that the AG shall be appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on the advice of the Prime Minister, after consultation with the Conference of Rulers. "Meanwhile, Section 4 of the First Schedule of the Audit Act allows the AG to be appointed from among members of the public services itself," he said. He also said the act provides that if the AG is appointed from among the public services, the position is pensionable and the remuneration is set at RM27,758 per month, with allowances and privileges under the Second Schedule. However, if the appointee is not from the public services, the remuneration remains the same but would not be pensionable. Both scenarios, he said, are legally accounted for under Article 105(5) of the Constitution. Earlier today, opposition lawmaker Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan questioned the legitimacy of Wan Suraya's appointment as AG and whether it complies with the Constitution. The Kota Bharu member of parliament argued in the Dewan Rakyat today that Article 105(4) of the Constitution implies that the AG must not be a serving member of the civil service, stressing the importance of independence in the role. He claimed that Wan Suraya was a serving civil servant and last held a position at the Malaysian Institute of Integrity.

Academic: Redirect anger over preacher pair, not at AGC
Academic Tajuddin Rasdi believes public anger from non-Muslims over Muslim preachers Zamri Vinoth and Firdaus Wong is misdirected, and should be 'recontextualised, not towards the Attorney-General's Chambers, but other parties instead'. 'I have heard these two personalities speak, and it is difficult to charge them with 3R (race, religion, and royalty) when what they say stems from simplistic and uncontextualized religious interpretations of the Quran and Hadith,' he told Malaysiakini. The professor of architecture explained that a key issue lies in how clerics are...

Insufficient evidence to prosecute Zamri Vinoth, Firdaus Wong, says Azalina
KUALA LUMPUR: There is a lack of evidence to support allegations against Zamri Vinoth and Firdaus Wong under any legal provisions, says Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said. The Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) stated that the police have initiated an investigation following complaints lodged against the individuals. "The investigation file has been referred to the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) for instructions and a decision. "Based on feedback from the AGC, I have been informed that there is, so far, insufficient evidence to prove the elements of an offence under any legal provision to prosecute both individuals in court," she said in a written reply to RSN Rayer (PH-Jelutong) on Tuesday (July 22). Rayer had earlier asked the minister why the individuals were not charged in court despite reports lodged against them. However, Azalina clarified that criminal cases are not subject to a statute of limitations. "Therefore, if there are new developments in the future, further investigation and review of this case can still be conducted," she added. The duo had earlier allegedly insulted the beliefs and religious practices of non-Muslims.
