Zaid fires back at 'showman' Shafee


KUALA LUMPUR: Lawyer Datuk Zaid Ibrahim has fired his salvo against Datuk Seri Najib Razak's lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah over the latter's remarks that it was his firm's incompetence that got Najib in hot soup during the SRC International Sdn Bhd final appeal.

Instead, Zaid said it was Muhammad Shafee's incompetency that led Najib to his difficulties and this, in turn, led him to advise Najib's team to change the former prime minister's lawyer if they wanted a different outcome at the Federal Court level.
