Lawyer: RCI correct to dismiss application to disqualify members


KUALA LUMPUR: The Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) was correct when it dismissed the application to disqualify two of its members, said a senior government lawyer at the High Court here.

Senior federal counsel Datuk Amarjeet Singh said the decision by the RCI was made on grounds that it did not have the jurisdiction or the powers to terminate the appointment of Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan and Tan Sri Saw Choo Boon.
