NAJIB Razak’s legal team’s request for the recuse of Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat from chairing the former prime minister’s final appeal in the SRC International case was a desperate move to hold up proceedings, ad hoc prosecutor V. Sithambaram said.
He said the application to recuse Tengku Maimun, citing a 2018 Facebook post by her husband, clearly shows it was filed to scuttle proceedings.
