00:00 The Malaysian Bar's Disciplinary Board has cleared Zayed Ibrahim and his firm's partners
00:07 of any breach of the Legal Profession Act or ethical misconduct related to former Prime
00:12 Minister Najib Razak's final appeal in the SRC International case last year.
00:18 Zayed said yesterday that the Disciplinary Board, led by Justice Rohana Yusof, cleared
00:23 him, Lutek Huat and M Reuben of any LPA breaches or legal ethics violation, as previously
00:29 alleged by Malaysian Bar President Keren Chia.
00:33 The senior lawyer was relieved that a correct decision was made and that they were not at
00:38 fault for doing their best for the client.
00:41 In January last year, FMT reported that the Board sent Zayed a letter, giving him a month
00:46 to explain alleged misconduct in Najib's final SRC International corruption case appeal.
00:52 The complaint, which was brought by the Bar Council, centred on Zayed's decision to take
00:57 on Najib's case and his inability to proceed when the court denied the request for an adjournment.
