Lawyer and son should answer allegations

Bar Council mulls probe against lawyers in Bala case

Lover Boy: Let's get this right, lawyer Haris Ibrahim has lodged a report to the Bar Council to carry out an investigation to identify and name this lawyer.

The concern as pointed out by former Kita president Zaid Ibrahim is that this Tan Sri lawyer was the same one who sit in the five-member MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission) panel.

There is a serious issue of conflict of interest and he should have disqualified himself knowing that he prepared the second SD (statutory declaration) to cause private eye P Balasubramaniam to retract his first SD.

Look at the second SD, Bar Council, the name of the firm of solicitors should usually appear in the SD. From that lead, write to the firm and confirm who prepared this second SD.

The firm is under an obligation to reply to you. From there, need I teach you to suck eggs further?

This is serious misconduct by the Tan Sri, who is a senior lawyer. Junior may not know what is happening.

Mr Bar President, the Tan Sri has been fingered, and you need do a bit of fingering yourself to get the truth.

Abasir: Can the Bar Council explain what it means by "unnecessary speculation and confusion"? Is there something called "necessary speculation and confusion"?

Where has the Bar Council been since the SD 1 and SD 2 were made public - all within 24 hours of each other? Wasn't it even curious as to how such a twist was staged and who among its members were involved?

Does the Bar Council expect the public to believe that none of its members knew anything about what has now come to light?

Or are we to understand that the phenomenon of "SD specialists" whipping one up with neither input from nor presence of the signatory is acceptable practice?

And does it serve the course of justice that the SD specialist is also in a position to influence a decision to investigate the very matter in which he is involved?

Pray tell us Bar Council, is this the "unnecessary speculation and confusion" you referred to?
