Former education minister Maszlee Malik gets a crash course in law from legal stalwarts.
Two legal eagles sank their claws into former education minister Maszlee Malik today over his criticisms of Attorney-General Tommy Thomas' decision to withdraw charges against 12 people who allegedly supported the defunct Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam .
"There is no evidence of terrorism. Just because LTTE is on the list does not mean the case is automatically proven. They are two separate things," said Ambiga, who is also a human rights advocate. " minister may want to list LTTE as a terrorist organisation but on the issue of charging someone in court, it is the AG who decides if there is enough evidence."You don't give the benefit of a doubt to your AG, only to an accused person. To your AG there cannot be any doubt as to his competency and judgment. If you do, then you have to replace him."
