Daim, wife axe part of legal team handling graft case

Former finance minister Daim Zainuddin and his wife Na’imah Abdul Khalid have terminated the service of two lawyers in the legal team representing them in the ongoing MACC probe and prosecution.

A source today confirmed with Malaysiakini that the discharge involving former solicitor-general Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden, who is now a practising lawyer, and lawyer Alex Tan, happened Wednesday (Jan 24), due to “a difference of opinion” in the conduct of the cases.
