KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The committal proceeding against former UMNO Supreme Council member Datuk Lokman Noor Adam, which was initiated by former Attorney-General Tan Sri Tommy Thomas, will proceed although Thomas has stepped down from the post.
Deputy public prosecutor Mohamad Mustaffa P. Kunyalam said the Attorney General’s Chambers will continue with the case as the action was made on behalf of the AGC's office and not in Thomas’ personal capacity.
"However, it was vacated due to the extension of the movement control order by the government... a new date will be fixed by the High Court after MCO ends," he said. Thomas, 68, who was appointed by then prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad on June 4,2018, for a two-year term to replace Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali, has resigned from the post on Feb 29 this year.
Thomas initiated the committal proceeding against Lokman seeking an order for Lokman to be committed to prison or be fined for his action.
