I REFER to Attorney General Tan Sri Tommy Thomas’ statement at a press conference recently that he believes in freedom of speech and does not subscribe to the principle of sub judice, (TheStarTV.com; online at https://bit.ly/37Zvgqq).

According to him, the principle of sub judice is appropriate for countries like the United Kingdom where jury trials are held.
