Forex RCI followed law of the jungle, gov't right to reject: Dr M's lawyer

Lawyer Haniff Khatri Abdulla (above), who acted for Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad in the royal commission of inquiry into forex losses suffered by the country, said the government made the right decision to disregard the commission's findings.

He said this in response to Umno's Gua Musang MP Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah's push for Putrajaya to take up the RCI's recommendations even though the commission's secretary Yusof Ismail has retracted his police report and the case since been categorised as "No Further Action".
