PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin must reveal the names of those who seek to obstruct the course of justice and lodge a report with the relevant authorities, says the Malaysian Bar.

Its president AG Kalidas said the Prime Minister's remark that he received pressure from particular parties to intervene in court matters as a way to exonerate several unnamed individuals from criminal charges was deeply concerning.

"It is evident from the law that the Prime Minister is legally obliged to report such an incident immediately to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission . Kalidas pointed out that pursuant to Section 202 of the Penal Code, it behoves a person who has a reasonable belief that an offence has been committed, to give information in respect of that offence.

In addition to investigations, the Malaysian Bar called for the immediate setting up of a Royal Commission of Inquiry to look into these claims, he added.

YOURSAY | Muhyiddin ‘confirms’ PM can influence court cases‘Is that why ex-Sabah CM Musa Aman was let off?’ If we recall, this has been happening in a big way since mamak kutty s time. Remember VK lingam? He basically declared to the entire nation that the country justice system is corrupted to its core, and all branches of government are dictated by the PM. Essentially he declared it without batting an eyelid, while nobody seems interested to talk about it. Known secret for long. Culture “adjust” at all level actually.
