Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak is not a public officer or part of Malaysia's public services as he is a member of the administration, his lawyers told the Kuala Lumpur High Court today.
The lawyers are applying to strike out a suit of misfeasance in public office and breach of fiduciary duty by former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad and two others against Najib in relation to 1MDB and his other actions.
The prime minister's lead counsel Cecil Abraham told this to Justice Abu Bakar Jais in chambers and cited Article 160 (2) of the federal constitution which stated that a member of the administration as defined under the Section 3 of the Interpretation Act is a person holding office as minister, deputy minister, parliamentary secretary or political secretary.
