Final SRC appeal: Najib’s decision to discharge legal team an act of self-inflicted injustice, says Malaysian Bar


PETALING JAYA: The justice system in Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s SRC International case is being abused and brought to disrepute, says the Malaysian Bar.

Its president Karen Cheah Yee Lynn said that this is through the frantic acts and numerous attempts to postpone the hearing; the application to discharge from acting for the former prime minister; defiance by refusing to proceed with submissions on the appeal after the Federal Court had made its ruling; and the sudden discharge of Datuk Zaid Ibrahim, Liew Teck Huat and Rueben Mathiavaranam by Najib.
