GSR power sial. Kudos to him despite his old age (almost reaching 90 if i remember correctly)

It mentions Pejabat Peguam Negara which means it's the AG Chambers (not necessarily the AG himself as it could be the DPP in charge who decided to drop the charge).

AG is the head of AG Chambers and DPP work under AG in AGC. AG and DPP have absolute discretion (power) to decide whether to charge or not to charge a person or withdraw the charge halfway through the proceeding.

But of course if there is any conflict between the decision of AG and DPP, the AG's decision should prevail as he is the head/boss of DPP. That is to say, if the DPP decided to withdraw the charge but AG decided against the withdrawal, the DPP then ought to follow AG's decision.

In LGE case, the AG claimed that he was not involved in the decision making for the withdrawal of the charge which means that he did not decide for or against the withdrawal of the charge, he just stayed away from it and let the DPP himself make the decision.

Although logically as the AG himself, he should have reviewed the case thoroughly to make sure the DPP's decision to withdraw the charge is right and proper instead of staying away from it and solely letting the DPP himself to make the decision as he did in order to avoid any political accusation or remarks against him.

Brevity and conciseness.

I also agree that the charge shouldn't have been withdrawn as I don't think the DPP would just simply draw up a charge without any basis at all so I believe there's something there, otherwise why would the DPP take up the charge in the beginning if there was no case at all.
