DHAKA: Additional Inspector General of Police (IGP) Mainul Hasan has been made the new commissioner (current) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police.
KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has objected to the Malaysian Bar 's legal challenge against his royal pardon on grounds that the Bar lacked quorum.
"Pursuant to Section 64 of the LPA, the quorum to commence the AGM requires 500 members of the Bar to be in attendance. However, I verily believe that at 10am March 16, the requisite quorum of members had not been achieved," he said. "Therefore, premised on the above I verily believe that the 78th AGM of the Bar is null and void in law rendering the decision to file this suit ultra vires and ought to be struck out," he added.
On April 26, the Bar filed the application for leave to commence judicial review to challenge Najib's pardon.
