- 5 years ago
Syazlin Mansor, the lawyer representing the Housing and Local Government Ministry as well as the Fire and Rescue Department, has withdrawn from the inquest to determine firefighter Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim's cause of death.
Announcing this at the Coroner's Court in Shah Alam this morning, she said this would also invalidate expert witness professor Dr Shahrom Abdul Wahid's testimony.
"With my withdrawal (from this inquest), I believe the appointment of Dr Shahrom as an expert witness is also void," she added.
However, Syazlin did not state the reasons for her decision.
