Make meaning of ‘public officer’ clear, court urged


KUALA LUMPUR: It is timely for the Federal Court or even Parliament to decide on or provide a clear definition of “public officer”, now that a second panel of Court of Appeal judges has decided that the prime minister is not a public officer.

Justice Yeoh Wee Siam, who penned the judgment for the second panel, said this before dismissing Tony Pua’s appeal against a High Court judgment in favour of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and the Government.
