PETALING JAYA: One City Development Bhd has said three One City Development Bhd employees remanded over the Seafield temple riot are not private legal practitioners.
Lawyer Haniff Khatri Abdulla, who is representing two of the One City Development employees, said the remanded suspect with legal qualification is not a practising private attorney.
“Legally, according to the attorney-client privilege, I cannot reveal the identity of the two company officers or the company employees involved,” Haniff said in a statement today.
“But in order to avoid the misunderstanding which has occurred, I can only confirm that one out of the three has a law qualification.
“That person is no longer a practising private attorney while working for the company. So far this case does not involve two lawyers but only one ‘lawyer’... that ‘lawyer’ is not even a practising private attorney.”
