Commenting on a news report that the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) had allegedly recommended that the task force’s report not be made public, Zahid said he hoped the allegations were just rumours.

“We also hope that the Cabinet, which will be presented with the report in the near future, will not cover up certain facts,” he said in a Facebook post.

“This concern arises because we understand that some members of the existing coalition government are former members of the PH government.

“The Cabinet members involved worked together for 22 months and were in ‘consensus’ with Thomas, so it is feared that there may be matters which they feel they must cover up.”

Zahid stressed that the report must be made public as Malaysians need to be informed about the claims outlined in Thomas’ memoir such as abuse of power, interference in the judiciary, and politically motivated prosecutions.

Law minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar told FMT last week the report will be presented to the Cabinet tomorrow.

“It’s up to the Cabinet to decide whether it should be made public or not,” he said.
