Independent panel to probe lawyer video
By V.P. SUJATHA
PUTRAJAYA: A special independent panel has been formed to probe and determine the authenticity of the video tape showing a senior lawyer purportedly brokering judges' appointments, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
The three-member panel will be headed by former Chief Judge of Malaya Tan Sri Haidar Mohd Noor. National Service Council chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye and former Court of Appeal Judge Datuk Mahadev Shankar are the other two members.
Najib said panel member, who had accepted their appointments, would soon start investigating the matter with the support and cooperation of all agencies concerned.
Their findings would be made public later, he added.
