Attorney General Tommy Thomas

PETALING JAYA: Syazlin Mansor caused “embarrassment” in her capacity as the lawyer for the Housing and Local Government Ministry at the inquest into the death of fireman Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim, said Attorney General Tommy Thomas.

Thomas said this was one of the reasons he requested Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin revoke Syazlin’s appoint­ment to represent the ministry and the Fire and Rescue Depart­­­ment at the inquest.
