KUALA LUMPUR, June 11 — Lawyers do not have a constitutional right to be present when their clients are being questioned for investigations, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission said.
He said that the court’s judgement in the case confirmed that witnesses who are getting their statements recorded are not entitled to legal representation as they are not suspects, arrested persons or unlawfully detained individuals. Wan Shaharuddin also cited another case Datuk Hasanah Ab Hamid v MACC and the Government of Malaysia.
“It is important to note that the absence of a specific provision allowing lawyers to be present during the recording of statements does not mean that legal representation is entirely prohibited during the investigation process.
