KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Lawyer Syazlin Mansor was in a conflict of interest position when she represented the Housing and Local Government Ministry, Fire and Rescue Department and family of Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim in the inquest into the fireman's death, says Attorney-General Tommy Thomas.

He also said Syazlin often contradicted the positions of deputy public prosecutors (DPPs), who were the conducting officers in the proceedings, causing embarrassment in her capacity as the ministry's lawyer.
