Nothing wrong in listing motion to censure Shafee, says ex-Bar president FMTNews FMTEng
Former Bar president Christopher Leong said there was no formal complaint against lawyer Shafee Abdullah about his conduct as ad hoc prosecutor in Anwar Ibrahim’s ‘Sodomy 2’ appeal before the disciplinary board.
That is why the Bar published a list of issues to be debated, including a motion to censure Shafee, at its March 14, 2015 AGM, he said. Leong, who was the Bar president from 2013 to 2015, told the court he disagreed with Shafee’s contention. The motion was tabled after Shafee attended and spoke at a “roadshow” to discuss a Federal Court judgment which saw Anwar sentenced to five years in prison for sodomy.
However, Anwar received a royal pardon shortly after Pakatan Harapan came to power in 2018. He is currently the prime minister.Shafee had then secured an injunction to stop members from discussing his conduct.“However, , Andrew Chiew and Lambert Rasa-Ratnam informed the meeting that the injunction covered all discussions and I made a ruling that there will be no discussions,” Leong said.
