PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Bar today said it was appalled that former de facto law minister Nazri Aziz had cast aspersions on the appointment of an attorney-general who is “not a Bumiputera or Malay”.
“The Malaysian Bar firmly believes that these appointments were just and beyond reproach,” he said in a statement. “The appropriateness of the appointments must be based solely on whether they were made in compliance with the Federal Constitution and the laws of the nation, and on merit — including the integrity, abilities and competence of the individuals — as well as their commitment to abide by the Federal Constitution and to uphold the rule of law.
Varughese said the Malaysian Bar believed that the nation’s multiculturalism and its peoples’ respect for diversity are its strength. On Feb 26, Inspector-General of Police Fuzi Harun confirmed that Nazri, who is also Barisan Nasional secretary-general, is being investigated under the Sedition Act 1948 over his controversial campaign speech in Semenyih.
He also reportedly warned non-Malays not to question Malay special privileges, saying that non-Malays also have their vernacular schools to preserve.
