‘CEP has the right to call up anybody’


TOKYO: The Council of Eminent Persons (CEP) has not overstepped its boundaries by summoning two senior judges because it has the right to call up anyone, said the Prime Minister.

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said the council had indicated to the two judges – Chief Justice Tun Md Raus Sharif and Court of Appeal president Tan Sri Zulkefli Ahmad Makinudin – that it would be better if they resigned.
