KUALA LUMPUR, April 7 — The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission overstepped its authority under the law when it submitted its views to the chief justice on an alleged breach of the code of ethics by the trial judge in Datuk Seri Najib Razak's SRC case, 14 former presidents of the Malaysian Bar said today.
“MACC only has the power to investigate alleged corruption and matters related thereto. This is clearly set out in the MACC Act. But the former Malaysian Bar presidents firmly said the MACC had gone beyond their powers under the MACC Act with this purported finding, saying that only the judiciary has power over matters such as whether there have been breaches of judicial ethics.
