KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court was told that the content of former attorney-general Tan Sri Tommy Thomas’ memoir titled 'My Story: Justice In the Wilderness' had roused public alarm.
Senior Federal Counsel Shamsul Bolhassan said the Cabinet, therefore felt the necessity to establish the special task force to investigate the matter.
"It is crucial to note that the preliminary investigation was into the alleged content of the book,” he said adding that it was erroneous to say that the establishment of the STF was illegal simply because it did not exist under the law. Besides Fong, the special task force comprises Datuk Seri Panglima Hashim Paijan, Datuk Dr Junaidah Kamaruddin, Datuk Jagjit Singh Bant Singh, Datuk Shaharudin Ali, K. Balaguru, Farah Adura Hamidi and Mohd Najib Surip.
The counsel further said the suit was not a plain and obvious case which is suitable for summary determination because it involves novel questions of law which have hitherto not been determined by courts.
