Shafee says Najib seeking pardon as defence team not given chance to prepare


KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak is seeking a royal pardon as he claimed he was not given a proper trial in the appeal for the SRC International Sdn Bhd case, says his lawyer.

Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah said in the pardon application submitted to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on behalf of Najib, one of the reasons given was that the then newly appointed legal team led by Datuk Hisyam Teh Poh Teik was not given the chance to prepare for the appeal case in the Federal Court on Aug 23.
