The senior lawyer says he was merely responding to questions by the media, and that he is looking forward to the papers being served on him.
KUALA LUMPUR: Senior lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah today questioned the bid by Attorney-General Tommy Thomas to begin contempt proceedings against him over statements allegedly undermining the administration of justice.
Shafee, who is representing the former prime minister, was caught on video on Feb 7 saying: “But we think our case is very good, okay? If you leave the judge alone, do not influence the judge, if the judge is straight, if witnesses are not coached and evidence is not fabricated, we should win.”“How can that be contemptuous?” he added.
The lawyer said he was looking forward to the papers being served on him, adding that he would challenge the contempt case.
