Lawyer Syazlin Mansor, who withdrew herself as counsel from the inquest into the death of fireman Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim, should have stayed on to represent the victim’s family if she really wanted to seek the truth.said Syazlin, who announced her withdrawal on Monday, should only quit as the lawyer representing the Housing and Local Government Ministry as well as the Fire and Rescue Department, due to conflict of interest.
“She claims she wanted to seek the truth. If she wanted the truth, she can find it in court. The prime minister now no longer has power over the courts. In a statement earlier yesterday, KPKT Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin’s press secretary Nor Hizwan Ahmad said Syazlin withdrew herself from the inquest after she was instructed to do so by the Attorney-General Tommy Thomas.
On a separate matter, Mahathir defended Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik amidst calls from several quarters for his removal after a series of controversial statements and decisions, including on the matriculation quota system.
