KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Lawyer Syazlin Mansor should not have withdrawn herself completely from the inquest into the death of firefighter Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim if uncovering the truth was the ultimate goal, says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. The lawyer is acting for Adib's family, then she agreed to act for the government (ministry). "The person who appointed the lawyer was unaware that she was already acting for Adib's family. When it came out in the open, the lawyer must withdraw from representing the government and continue representing Adib's family, but she withdrew from representing all (three) parties. "The minister (Zuraida) did not know she (Syazlin) was also the lawyer for Adib's family, you want me to sack Zuraida too?"
