The Malaysian Bar, the Advocates Association of Sarawak, and the Sabah Law Society are appalled by the news reports expressing calls by political figures for interference by the Prime Minister in the judicial process; some have even gone as far as demanding for direct interference in the Federal Court decision concerning the case of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, and for a change of the current attorney general. It is deeply disturbing that such calls to interfere in the judicial process, or to replace the current attorney general, are made in blatant disregard of the principle of separation of powers and the entrenched constitutional democracy of Malaysia. Malaysia is a country that values the separation of powers between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches, as this provides checks and balances against one another.
