KUALA LUMPUR, April 3 — Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s SRC International conviction should no longer be disputed as it has completely run its legal course, said the Malaysian Bar.
She said any question about a judge’s ethics and conduct should be the purview of the Judicial Ethics Committee under the Judges Ethics Committee Act 2010. Cheah also said the sole dissenting judge in the Federal Court decision to reject Najib’s review application did not nullify the majority decision.
“If all it takes is for one dissenting judgment to give rise to the possibility of a fresh review upon an already decided judicial review, then there will be no end to litigation. It will also open the door to lawyers and judges being susceptible to ‘unsavoury strategy’ or ‘outside influence’ just to cause a situation of a fresh review to frustrate the course of justice.
After the full judgment was released, Najib’s lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah said they would use the dissenting judge’s grounds as basis of the ex-PM’s application for a royal pardon.
