PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Razak's former counsel in the SRC International Sdn Bhd case, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, made a short cameo during the hearing here on Tuesday (Aug 23).

The senior lawyer arrived shortly after Najib's counsel Hisyam Teh Poh Teik informed the five-judge panel that he had roped in Muhammad Shafee to help him with the application to recuse Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat from presiding over the appeal.
