KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak (pic) has objected to the appointment of two lawyers from Messrs Tommy Thomas to represent the former attorney-general in a RM1.9mil suit filed by the former prime minister.
Lawyer Datuk Firoz Hussein Ahmad Jamaluddin, who was representing Najib, submitted that the appointment of Alan Adrian Gomez and Lai Wei Shiung to represent Thomas would make it difficult for them to maintain their professional independence and to act objectively in the suit, which was filed on Oct 22 last year.
