PETALING JAYA: The reason why former attorney general (AG) Tommy Thomas resigned before his two-year contract was due in June was because of the change of politics in Malaysia.
"My position as AG was that of a political appointee and made by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad," he told news portal Free Malaysia Today .
Thomas also said that his decision to resign as AG was in line with the UK tradition and in other countries practising mature democracy. At the same time, Thomas also said he plans to take a holiday and he will always be grateful to Dr Mahathir for giving him the opportunity to serve the country. Thomas officially resigned as AG after he handed his resignation letter to Dr Mahathir last Friday evening.
