KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said has done no wrong by responding to queries made by Datuk Seri Najib Razak's lawyer, says former MP Tan Sri Shahrir Abdul Samad.
This comes after Azalina responded to queries on the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s probe into Justice Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali’s case.
Shahrir in a statement on Saturday said Azalina's reply to Najib’s lawyers was merely to confirm what she said in the Dewan Rakyat. "Considering that it is pre-dated, how could Azalina be in contempt of a ruling that had not been decided," he added. "Many people feel uncomfortable with these new protocols as it means that judges are now seen to be above the law.
Leong in a statement recently said Azalina's letter was written on March 20, 2023, after the Federal Court delivered its judgment on Feb 24, 2023, that the MACC investigation of Mohd Nazlan was unconstitutional, illegal and undermines the independence of the judiciary.
