PETALING JAYA: Lawyer Datuk Zaid Ibrahim and his partners, Liew Teck Huat and M. Rueben, have been exonerated by the Bar Council disciplinary board of any breach of the Legal Profession Act (LPA) 1976 or any other wrongdoing as alleged by Malaysian Bar president Karen Cheah.
PUTRAJAYA: The review application filed by Datuk Seri Najib Razak at the Federal Court would proceed as planned, as the judges presiding over the matter have been prepared, says the Chief Justice.
A nine-man bench chaired by Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat (

Rosliza succeeded in making her claims on a balance of probabilities that she was never a Muslim since birth, she said.
The court found that based on evidence, Rosliza was an illegitimate child and her mother was never a Muslim, therefore her father’s religion could not be ascribed to her.This was corroborated by the Religious Authorities’ Letters which stated that they were unable to locate any record of a marriage between the plaintiff’s parents.
“The concurrent categorisation by the courts below (the High Court and the Court of Appeal) of the plaintiff’s case as a renunciation case is not correct in fact and in law.
