#KiniNews: King's Counsel to represent Muhyiddin; 'Hunt for Jho Low unaffected by DOJ settlement'

[KiniNews] A King’s Counsel (KC) from the United Kingdom is set to appear for Muhyiddin Yassin during next week’s Court of Appeal hearing of the ex-premier's review to quash his power abuse charges.

Steven Perian, who is the first KC to be admitted to the High Court of Malaya, will beef up the Pagoh MP’s legal team when the review hearing before a five-person bench begins next Tuesday.

Meanwhile, in a separate story, 1MDB taskforce chairperson Johari Abdul Ghani said Malaysia’s efforts to apprehend alleged 1MDB mastermind Jho Low are not affected by the fugitive reaching a settlement with the US Department of Justice (DOJ).

“You have to differentiate Malaysia’s search for Low, which is one thing, that is separate from the DOJ which has its own criminal action against Low and what they (DOJ) want to do is their right,” he said today.
