KUALA LUMPUR: The Par­liamentary Special Select Com­mittee (PSSC) aims to finalise its report on the proposed separation of the Attorney General (AG) and Public Prosecutor (PP) roles by mid-May, says Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said (pic). The PSSC’s next meetings are set for April 9, 16 and 27, and May 4, with the target of finalising its report by May 18. “The meeting on Monday also agreed to invite four legal and constitutional academics to provide views on the proposed amendments. However, she noted that seve­ral issues required further scrutiny to ensure consensus before the amendments were tabled in Parliament. She added that the government was allowing the committee process to proceed to ensure a broader consensus, noting that the proposed split between the AG and PP was a historic institutional reform.
