PUTRAJAYA: Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat should have stepped down from chairing the appeal of Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s SRC International Sdn Bhd case, as she allegedly has a conflict of interest due to her husband’s Facebook posting, the Federal Court was told.
The former premier’s counsel, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, said this was because the top judge’s husband had blamed Najib in 2018 for the downfall of 1Malaysia Development Berhad and its former subsidiary SRC International.
Muhammad Shafee said the transmission of information sharing between husband and wife may occur and should be considered in a serious manner. “Najib’s ex-counsel, Datuk Hisyam Teh Poh Teik, did not allow himself to submit on the 94 grounds of the appeal. Hisyam wasn’t refusing to submit, but he wasn’t ready to ... He requested an adjournment as he needed more preparation time, but the court did not allow it. He then wanted to discharge himself, but the court forced him to remain to act for Najib,” he said.
