Najib still Pekan MP pending Federal Court appeal, can't contest unless conviction set aside, says lawyer


PUTRAJAYA: Despite the Court of Appeal upholding Datuk Seri Najib Razak's (pic) conviction and sentence in the SRC International Sdn Bhd case, he will not lose his status as Pekan MP if he files an appeal to the Federal Court against the decision, says a lawyer.

Lawyer Lim Wei Jiet said if the former prime minister files an appeal to the Federal Court, he will not lose his Pekan seat until 14 days after a decision by the Federal Court.
