'SPRMMalaysia has no power to give views on judges' ethics, can only probe corruption'
The former Malaysian Bar presidents said the MACC actually has no power to investigate or make any findings on whether judges had breached the code of ethics, as its power is limited to only investigating alleged corruption.“MACC only has the power to investigate alleged corruption and matters related thereto. This is clearly set out in the MACC Act.
With the Court of Appeal and Federal Court having upheld Najib's SRC conviction at the High Court, Cheah said the attempt to raise allegations against the SRC trial judge using the MACC's purported letter to the chief justice was a "desperate" move to tarnish the reputation of a judge who had already been vindicated at all levels within the judiciary, further calling for a stop to this "inappropriate and last-ditch effort to cast doubts on Najib's conviction".
