PARLIAMENT | Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail today said he is not privy to the circumstances that led to a police probe against lawyers representing the family of Noorizwan Zulkefly.
Responding to Ramkarpal Singh (Harapan-Bukit Gelugor), who questioned the Home Ministry’s stance on the investigation, Saifuddin said he was also keen to know what had prompted the probe but could not intervene to halt it.
“While the lawyers were carrying out their duty with dedication, how did they carry themselves with the authorities who were carrying out the investigation? How did they communicate?
“Were there any situations that could have led to ethical violations? I am not privy to that information,” the minister said while winding up the debate on the Supply Bill 2027 (Budget 2027) in the Dewan Rakyat.
