PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Razak has claimed that his right to life, liberty and the right to a fair hearing in his criminal case are at stake, after counsels were not allowed to discharge themselves.

The former prime minister, who spoke in a press conference after the proceedings ended here on Thursday , also claimed that he was left with no legal representation as his counsel was denied the required time to go through the appeal records.

"I wish to record my objection in the strongest terms in the appeals proceedings today where my right to life, liberty and the right to a fair hearing is at stake," he said. Earlier, at the beginning of the trial on Thursday, Najib's lead counsel Hisyam Teh Poh Teik made an oral application to discharge himself from representing Najib, following the Federal Court's dismissal on his application to stay the proceedings on Tuesday .

The discharge application, however, was denied by a panel of five judges chaired by Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat. Hisyam then told the court that he would not be making any submissions on the 94 grounds of appeal filed in by Najib's previous counsel, effectively waiving the defence's right to begin the appeal hearing.
