Syed Saddiq defends CSA, says it pushes for key reforms
Muar MP says the deal paves the way for separating the AG and public prosecutor's roles, a key reform to keep the AGC from being politically weaponised.
Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman defended the confidence and supply agreement (CSA) he signed with the government, stating it pushes for key institutional reforms. The agreement aims to ensure fair constituency allocations and reduce power concentration in the prime minister's hands. Separating the attorney-general's and public prosecutor's roles is a proposed reform to prevent the prime minister and Cabinet from controlling appointments to the top prosecution office, reducing the likelihood of corruption cases involving political allies being dropped.
