PETALING JAYA: Idrus Harun’s tenure as the attorney-general (AG) has been extended for another six months.
“In accordance with Clause (1) Article 145 of the Federal Constitution, the Yang diPertuan Agong has approved the reappointment of Idrus Harun as attorney-general for a period of six months effective from March 6, 2023,” chief secretary Zuki Ali said in a Facebook post.

His contract, which initially expired on March 5, 2022, was renewed for another year on March 8, 2022.
Idrus took over from Tommy Thomas, who was appointed by the PH government after it swept to power in the May 2018 general election (GE14).
