Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M) President Dr. Muhammad Mohan emphasized the need to eliminate public perceptions of double standards in law enforcement. He pointed to the DNAA (Discharge Not Amounting to an Acquittal) issue, where people associate it with high-profile cases, reinforcing the belief that laws favor the elite over ordinary citizens.
Transparency International and DNAA
“For example, in the issue of discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA), which we often see associated with high-profile cases. We do not dispute the law or the Attorney General’s authority, as they have the legal power to discontinue a case. But what is the public’s perception? Today, even a street vendor selling banana fritters understands what DNAA is, even if they do not know its exact legal definition. When DNAA is mentioned, people immediately associate it with certain parties. That is the public perception now—they believe that the law is applied differently for the common people and the elites, even though that may not be the case,” he said.
