PETALING JAYA: Legal action will begin against Malaysian Bar president Karen Cheah if she does not retract a press statement she issued and apologise, says Datuk Zaid Ibrahim and two other lawyers.
Zaid, Liew Teck Huat and Rueben Mathiavanam – who had acted for former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in the SRC International final appeal – said that Cheah's statement was “grave and serious libel” of their conduct.
They said that the press release dated Aug 19 “falsely and maliciously” contained paragraphs concerning their conduct in appeal in the Federal Court and added that this formed the basis of news reports on several portals. All three also said that the statement by Cheah suggested that they had “no compunction in abusing the process of the court”, had acted 'in flagrant contempt of court' and “that their 'conduct was designed to pervert the course of justice' and 'bring the legal profession into disrepute”.
