  "account": "The Joint Select Committee of Parliament will reconvene following receiving AGC's views on the proposed separation of the roles of the Chief Public Prosecutor and the State Attorney-General. The Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) is currently investigating the method of selecting candidates for the Chief Public Prosecutor position following the relevant law being passed. Attorney-General Dusuki Mokhtar stated that this follows the passage of the relevant law (RUU) on the proposed separation of powers between the State Attorney-General and the Chief Public Prosecutor, which is being reviewed by the Joint Select Committee of Parliament (PSSC). If there are issues regarding the candidates, they are investigating a matter related to the candidates themselves. According to Berita Harian, how the candidates are selected is being looked into, as reported from Kota Bharu. The Joint Select Committee of Parliament (PSSC) is set to reconvene after receiving AGC's views on the proposed separation of powers between the State Attorney-General and the Chief Public Prosecutor. On March 3, the Presidential Assurances (Pindaan) Law No. 2 (2026), which aims to separate the roles of the State Attorney-General and the Chief Public Prosecutor, was referred to the PSSC. Under the proposed framework, the Chief Public Prosecutor will be appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong based on royal discretion with the advice of the Legal and Judicial Services Commission, following consultations with the Royal Families.",
