The clarification from Attorney-General Tommy Thomas that he was not aware of the prosecution’s cross-appeal in the sedition
case of independent preacher Wan Ji Wan Hussain until a new sentence was issued on Tuesday has laid to rest concerns about the commitment of Pakatan Harapan government to restore the principles of liberty and justice to Malaysians.
This was why I had tweeted “Shocked by enhancement of Wan Ji’s sedition sentence. Injustice should be rectified.” on Tuesday itself, and my political secretary, Shahredzan
Johan had asked the prosecution to explain the reason for asking the court to enhance Wan Ji’s sentence.
To avoid the Wan Ji mishap from happening again, all DPPs should read the Pakatan Harapan Manifesto on New Malaysia and seek any new instructions from the Attorney-General if they had queries especially with regard to cases before the last general elections.

This also raises the question of how TT runs the AG chambers? Does he not know what his officers are going to do? If he is ‘sleeping” on this case, what about the 1MDB trials? Does he not get a report of what happened and what to do tomorrow ( to strategise? I am concerned. There is a prevailing thought among rural Malays, that since Najib was never paraded in Orange and handcuff after all these month, he must be innocent and all these noises about 1MDB is just a Harapan scheme to discredit Najib. That he is innocent. Please, I do hope that TT plans and gets Najib convicted, pictured in Orange jumpsuit and handcuffs. So that the rural Malays can know that he is guilty as Hell.
