KUALA LUMPUR: Muda has filed a suit against the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) over the agency's finding on the Judges' Code of Ethics 2009, which it claimed was out of the agency's jurisdiction.
The originating summons was filed through law firm Messrs Lim Wei Jiet at the High Court here on Wednesday .
Justice Mohd Nazlan, then a High Court judge, had convicted former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in the RM42mil SRC International Sdn Bhd case.In a supporting affidavit affirmed by Muda's secretary-general Amir Hariri Abd Hadi, he said the MACC's letter dated Feb 20 and another letter from Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said dated March 20 revealed a serious transgression on the part of MACC.
If the court does not hold MACC accountable for the transgression, Amir Hariri said MACC would continue to overstep its authority and interfere in matters within the purview of other investigating agencies which would result in confusion and uncertainty in law enforcement. Muda also questioned the manner and timing in which the letters made their way to the public domain, which it claimed:"clearly demonstrate a lack of bona fide as well as an assault towards judicial independence and the separation of powers".
