Consider This: What kind of public prosecutor is malaysia creating?

The government is expected to table its revised bill to separate the Attorney-General and Public Prosecutor roles when Parliament reconvenes in the coming weeks. The debate has now moved beyond whether the two roles should be split. The bigger question is: What kind of Public Prosecutor is Malaysia creating? And what safeguards are needed to ensure that the office of the Public Prosecutor is independent, transparent, and accountable to the public? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Karen Cheah, Former President of the Malaysian Bar, and Maha Balakrishnan, who is a Parliamentary and Institutional Development Specialist.
