Efforts ongoing to resolve AG vacancy, Dr M says

(Bernama) – The Pakatan Harapan federal government is making efforts to find a solution to issue of appointing a new Attorney-General as soon as possible, said Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

As such, the Pakatan Harapan chairman said for now he could not be making any comments about it.

“Efforts are being made to resolve this problem and it will be of no benefit for me comment now,” he told reporters after chairing the PH Kedah Council meeting at Seri Mentaloon here today.

Also present was Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mukhriz Tun Dr Mahathir, who  is also the chairman of  PH Kedah.

Dr Mahathir was commenting on reports that Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Muhammad V is said to have rejected the name given by Dr Mahathir for the AG position because the person is a non-Mulsim.

Pakatan Harapan, a coalition of Bersatu, DAP, PKR and Amanah, is in power at the federal level after defeating the Barisan Nasional in the 14th general election on May 9.
