Former attorney general Tan Sri Tommy Thomas (pic) broke his oath to guard and keep government secrets at all times, even when he is no longer in a position of power by including them in his memoir, says Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. The Umno president said one of the main thrusts in any government departments was not to share information deemed confidential under the Official Secrets Act 1972 with the public. "Furthermore, such information shouldn't be used to boost the sale of a book which puts forward his opinion and not facts. “Thomas' writings in "My Story: Justice in the wilderness" is an irresponsible act especially at a time when the country is flooded with problems that troubled the people, ” he said on Thursday (Feb 4).
