KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Muslim Lawyers’ Association (PPMM) has opposed Malaysian Bar Council’s proposal seeking the appointment of Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan as the next Attorney-General (AG). “Is the Malaysian Bar attempting to name its own person to be the Attorney General?” he asked in a statement, today. This, he said, may give the impression that the AG would be beholdened to the views of the Malaysian Bar. Zainul added that he believes that Bar Council members were not consulted when the president, George Varughese, issued the statement. “As far as PPMM is concerned, no professional body or individual should make any stand in proposing names as the AG.
