‘MACC probe into judge tarnished judiciary’

PUTRAJAYA: Public confidence in the judiciary was tarnished when the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) issued a statement on its investigation against Court of Appeal judge Justice Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali over allegations of unexplained money in his bank account, says the Chief Justice.

Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat made the remark during a submission by Senior Federal Counsel Liew Horng Bin, who appeared for the defendants, in a hearing of an application by two lawyers and an activist in a legal challenge to determine the constitutionality of the investigation against Justice Mohd Nazlan here yesterday.
