Lawyers for Liberty (LFL) director Zaid Malek claimed that MACC officers had refused to acknowledge a letter on client-solicitor privilege, which he served to them by hand this morning.

He told Malaysiakini that the letter was served when he accompanied businessperson Albert Tei’s lawyer, Mahajoth Singh, who was summoned by MACC for questioning today. The meeting with the officers lasted about 30 minutes.
