Khairy Jamaluddin has called for the Attorney General to take leave of absence, citing the need for impartiality in light of recent developments in the high-profile case involving former Prime Minister Najib Razak. The Kampung Tun Perak member of parliament referenced a police report filed against Deputy Public Prosecutor Dusuki Mokhtar regarding the suspension of Najib's home detention order. The move underscores mounting concerns about the integrity of the legal proceedings and has drawn fresh attention to the handling of the case by prosecutorial authorities. Najib is currently serving a 12-year prison sentence following his conviction on charges related to the misappropriation of funds from sovereign wealth fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). The recent developments have intensified political and public scrutiny of the judicial process, with observers noting the significance of calls for recusal from senior law enforcement officials. No immediate response from the Attorney General's office has been reported as of publication time.
