The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is acting unlawfully by forcing individuals arrested to facilitate graft investigations to wear orange lockup uniforms, Padang Serai MP N Surendran said today.

In a statement, the PKR lawmaker cited the high-profile arrests of Penang exco member Phee Boon Poh and former Felda chairperson Isa Samad as examples.

"Both Phee and Isa were taken to court, wearing bright orange MACC lockup uniforms.

"This practice is in breach of the principle that a person is innocent until proven guilty, and hence, is unlawful and in breach of Article 5 of the Federal Constitution," Surendran said...
