Umno’s President Ahmad Zahid Hamidi made a stunning request to the new PM Ismail Sabri Yaakob to set up a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to investigate former attorney general Tommy Thomas.
While Zahid says there was political interference in judicial issues under the Pakatan Harapan reign, the motive seems blurred.
“Why only Tommy’s exposure? Does Zahid want to save himself,? asked an opposition MP, Salahuddin Ayub from Amanah.
Zahid wants the RCI to investigate the memoirs of Thomas, My Story; Justice in the Wilderness saying, “Umno must be a pioneer in institutional reform efforts in various branches of government.”
