PETALING JAYA: A human rights NGO has questioned the government’s decision to appeal the acquittal of a woman who dropped balloons at an event attended by the prime minister and his wife in 2015.
Lawyers for Liberty (LFL) executive director Eric Paulsen also questioned the need to secure a conviction for a minor incident, adding that it was a “waste of resources”.
“Surely there are real crimes for the public prosecutor to go after?
“He must not forget that he acts as a guardian for public interest. What public interest is being served by continuously appealing such a petty matter?”
