Five MACC officers, including deputy chief commissioner (operations) Azam Baki, met Court of Appeal judge Hamid Sultan Abu Backer in his chambers this morning.
The officers were seeking to record Hamid's statement regarding the affidavit he filed last week, in which he alleged that members of the judiciary conspired to defraud the government.
However, Hamid – who is being represented by lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla and Joy Appukuttan – refused to have his statement recorded.
Haniff, when met outside the Palace of Justice today, said that his client will only provide his statement to a special taskforce to convene a royal commission of inquiry.
"Hamid will decline to give his statement to the MACC or police on the matter until a taskforce and an RCI is formed," the lawyer said.
