Rulers to discuss the AG issue on Tuesday

(MMO) – The Malay monarchs will meet on June 5 to discuss the appointment of the next Attorney-General (AG), the Keeper of the Rulers’ Seal said today.

According to Tan Sri Syed Danial Syed Ahmad, the Rulers have also not agreed on terminating the services of the incumbent AG Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali, who has been put on garden leave after the Pakatan Harapan coalition took federal power in the May 9 general election.

“By Royal Command, letters of invitation to their Royal Highnesses have been issued by the Keeper of the Rulers’ Seal on June 1 to deliberate on this matter at Istana Negara on June 5.

“The Malay Rulers have been following this development and consider it their responsibility to help resolve this impasse,” Syed Danial was quoted saying in a statement to The Star news portal.
