Justice system being abused, says Malaysian Bar


Malaysian Bar president Karen Cheah.

PETALING JAYA: The justice system is being abused and brought to disrepute through the frantic acts and numerous attempts to postpone the hearing of Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s appeal, says the Malaysian Bar.

Its president Karen Cheah said this includes 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 Zaid Ibrahim, Liew Teck Huat and Rueben Mathiavaranam by Najib.
