Umno represented by disbarred lawyer
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 18 – Nearly as soon as he filed his papers to contest the Permatang Pasir by-election yesterday, Umno candidate Rohaizat Othman ran into controversy.
Rohaizat, 38, was bombarded with questions from reporters after it became known that he was disbarred as a lawyer last year over allegations of fraud that implicated his law firm.
According to the Malaysian Bar website, he was disbarred on March 7 last year. This means that he cannot practise as a lawyer or appear before a court, but he is allowed practise syariah law.
It also does not preclude him from standing as an election candidate, but it is certainly not an advantage.
He and Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS) Penang commissioner Mohd Salleh Man,
52, were the only two who registered as candidates for the by-election on Aug 25. - + selanjutnya
