PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission has overstepped its jurisdiction in arresting a lawyer who was acting for a stratified property's management corporation in several civil suits, says Lawyers for Liberty .
"After being questioned and handing over documents related to their investigation, I was then given a notice to head to MACC Putrajaya for further questioning. Lai was released on June 6 after posting bail of RM20,000, with several"conditions" attached to the bail, which were verbally conveyed to him by a MACC officer at the time.
He revealed that he had been engaged by his client since 2020 over a civil suit related to a strata dispute in Ara Damansara, Petaling Jaya, where some recent court orders were given in favour of his client earlier this year. Lo was similarly asked to provide all documents related to his client’s case to MACC and spent several hours providing his statement at MACC Putrajaya.
