AG: Maintain 'sub judice' rule as judges can be influenced

Malaysia may have abolished its jury system, but the country’s top prosecutor Mohamed Apandi Ali is of the opinion that the sub judice rule must continue to be maintained.

“Not only by writing, even the mere presence of people in a court room can instill fear in a judge,” he said.
