NSTnation Ramkarpal says not proper for MACC to broadcast Najib's audio clips
Stressing that such an action was regrettable, lawyer and DAP's Bukit Gelugor member of parliament Ramkarpal Singh said MACC commissioner Latheefa Koya should not have done so as this could amount to a trial by media of those implicated in the said recordings.
Yesterday, the MACC dropped a bombshell, releasing audio clips allegedly implicating Najib, his wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, and several others in what was described as an indication of"abuse of power" and"subversion of justice". Ramkarpal said spying on people in their telephone conversations may be unconstitutional although it may be provided for in law today.
"If such a trend were to continue, we will soon see alleged criminals being found guilty in a press conference and not a court of law.
