Zaid questions extent of AG, PP powers to impose or drop charges

Zaid Ibrahim has questioned to what extent the Attorney-General (AG) or the public prosecutor should have unlimited powers to impose or drop charges.

The former minister cited the discharge amounting to an acquittal (DAA) granted to KK Mart founder Chai Kee Kan, his wife Loh Siew Mui, and three directors of Xin Jian Chang Sdn Bhd, regarding the socks bearing the word Allah, as an example of such powers.
