KUALA LUMPUR: The long-awaited separation of powers between the Attorney General (AG) and public prosecutor is set to materialise next year through amendments to the Federal Constitution and two supporting bills.
Law and Institutional Reform Minister Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said said one amendment would define the source of authority, while the accompanying bills would determine public prosecutors’ salaries and amend 19 related acts.
