PUTRAJAYA, Aug 18 — In an unexpected turn of events, senior lawyer Hisyam Teh Poh Teik has clarified that he will not be filing any submissions to defend Datuk Seri Najib Razak in the former prime minister’s final appeal against his conviction of misappropriating funds from SRC International Sdn Bhd.
He was thwarted, however, by the panel of five judges led by Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, who reminded the lawyer that he had a duty to his client after accepting the appointment. “I can see no meaningful way that I can play as far as proceedings are concerned because we are in fact not prepared.
Truth wins
Already knew the set date still say unprepared, should not take up the job in the first place. You supplant other lawyer's who has work for so many years and you come out this excuse. Lawyer buruk.
Cikgu, saya lupa buat kerja rumah.....
High profile lawyer of vast experience took a case presumably fully understanding all the legal intricacies and risks involved but now says he is unprepared to defend his poor😥client. Is an appeal to the FC such an insignificant undertaking that this can happen?
