Kuala Lumpur: Tommy Thomas, a top ethnic Indian lawyer was today appointed Malaysia's new Attorney General by the king, who appealed to Malaysians to not to "create religious or racial conflict" over the decision, amid protests from Islamic groups against his nomination.
A palace statement said Sultan Muhammad V has approved terminating the current Attorney General Mohamad Apandi Ali and replacing him with Mr Thomas, who is the first person from the minority community to hold the post in 55 years in the Muslim-majority nation.
