KUALA LUMPUR – The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) decision to initiate investigations against Justice Datuk Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali is tantamount to executive interference in the judiciary, said the Commonwealth Lawyers Association (CLA).
In an open letter to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, CLA said the allegations of Nazlan violating the judicial code of ethics are not under MACC’s jurisdiction.
It added that the recent decision from the Federal Court appeal brought by three lawyers – Haris Fathillah Mohamed Ibrahim, Nur Ain Mustapa and Sreekant Pillai – went to show that the allegations against Nazlan were without merit.
“The issue is now res judicata,” according to the open letter.
