PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad will not entertain calls to sack Attorney General Tommy Thomas.

Dr Mahathir said unless “something very serious” had been committed by an individual, he would not simply fire anyone.“I also would like to sack some of the opposition members because they make a lot of mistakes, but we have the rule of law. So we obey the rule of law.

“Unless something very, very serious happens, I do not fire people even though people have asked me to fire this person, fire that person, ” said Dr Mahathir at a press conference here Thursday . Opposition MPs had asked Dr Mahathir to advise the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to dismiss the AG, following a spate of alleged “interventions” in court decisions.

The latest incident which the opposition cried foul was on the court’s decision to drop two terrorism-related charges against Seremban Jaya assemblyman P. Gunasekaran, over alleged links to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam .

Yup, get someone else to do your dirty work and gauge the people's sentiments. If it works in your favour, claim credit. If it backfires, stay out and let another take the fall. Can't believe people still fall for his acts for the last 28 years.
