Auditor General's appointment adheres to law, says A-GC
KUALA LUMPUR: There's no requirement for Datuk Seri Wan Suraya Wan Mohd Radzi to retire, as her appointment as Auditor General (AG) was made in accordance with the law, says the Attorney-General's Chambers (A-GC). In a statement, the A-GC said that based on Article 105 of the Federal Constitution and subparagraph 1(1) of the First Schedule to the Audit Act 1957, the AG may be appointed from among members of the public service. "Referring to Clause (2) of Article 105 of the Federal Constitution, when Wan Suraya was appointed as Auditor-General effective June 13, 2023, she no longer held any other positions in the Federal service and therefore ceased to be a member of the Administrative and Diplomatic Service scheme," it said. "However, although she is no longer part of the Administrative and Diplomatic Service, she remains a member of the general public service under Section 3 of the Audit Act 1957. "Given that her appointment as AG complies with legal provisions, there is no need for her to be retired in the interest of the nation," it added. Earlier this week in the Dewan Rakyat, Bersatu Chief Whip Datuk Seri Ronald Kiandee said the AG, appointed under the Federal Constitution, must be an independent individual with no ties to the executive branch and should not be part of the country's administrative structure. He claimed that Wan Suraya was still a member of the Administrative and Diplomatic Service scheme and urged the government to clarify whether the appointment fulfilled the requirement of separation from the executive. Meanwhile, opposition lawmaker Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan also questioned the legitimacy of Wan Suraya's appointment and whether it complied with the Constitution. Following that, Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) M. Kulasegaran said her appointment is legitimate and in line with the Federal Constitution and Audit Act 1957. During the ministry's winding-up session on the AG Report 2/2025, Kulasegaran said there was no issue regarding Wan Suraya's appointment and that legal provisions governing the appointment process were clear. Earlier today, unity government spokesman Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the appointment of Wan Suraya is constitutional. He said this was confirmed by the Chief Secretary to the Government, Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar, during today's Cabinet meeting.

'In response, the Chanthaburi-Trat Border Protection Command has exercised its authority under the Martial Law Act of 1914 to extend martial law to specific inland districts in both Chanthaburi and Trat,' he said in a statement issued on Friday. 'This measure enables military personnel to legally maintain order and effectively carry out critical tasks, such as designating safe zones for civilians.'

Cambodia PM Agrees To Ceasefire Proposed By Anwar
By Vijian Paramasivam PHNOM PENH, July 25 (Bernama) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet has agreed to the ceasefire proposal with Thailand suggested by Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. In a Facebook post today, Manet said he agreed to the ceasefire because Cambodia did not initiate the fighting. bootstrap slideshow 'The key to resolving the current armed conflict between Thailand and Cambodia is the genuine willingness of the Thai side to accept a ceasefire, which is the first step towards finding further solutions between the two countries,' Manet said in his posting. Manet clarified that there was unclear reporting by various international media regarding the proposed ceasefire talks initiated by Anwar, the current ASEAN chair. Manet said he only agreed to the ceasefire after hearing from Anwar that Thailand's acting Prime Minister, Phumtham Wechayachai, agreed to peace talks.

'However, it is regrettable that just over an hour later, the Thai side informed that they had reversed their position from agreeing to the ceasefire,' said Manet. Anwar said he spoke to both prime ministers on resolving the ongoing conflict on Thursday.
