Another former attorney-general (AG) has come to the defence of AG Idrus Harun.

This comes after the Harapan presidential council accused Idrus of treason and demanded his removal over the latter's public statement that it is up to the cabinet to decide when Parliament can be convened and that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's discretion is not applicable in this case.

Ex-AG Mohamed Apandi Ali said Idrus was merely laying out the position laid by the Federal Constitution, due to some confusion among the people on the issue.

Previously on June 27, former AG Tommy Thomas had expressed disappointment with Pakatan Harapan’s call for Idrus be sacked.
