Dr Mahathir Mohamad and two others have filed a legal suit against Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak for breach of fiduciary duty and misfeasance in public office.

The suit was filed with the Kuala Lumpur High Court registry today.

Besides Mahathir, the other plaintiffs are former Langkawi Wanita Umno member Anina Saadudin and former Batu Kawan Umno division vice head Khairuddin Abu Hassan.

Najib is the sole defendant in the claim.

All three plaintiffs are part of the Citizens' Declaration movement to remove Najib as prime minister.

They are seeking a court order declaring Najib had committed the tort of misfeasance in public office and breach of fiduciary duties by using his post as prime minister, chairperson of BN and Umno president to act in bad faith, to obstruct, intercede, impede and derail investigations and inquiries related to 1MDB.

Misfeasance is a term used in tort law to describe an act that is legal but performed improperly.

The plaintiffs are also seeking a similar declaration where Najib abused his positions to take action against Anina and Khairuddin.

Furthermore, they are seeking RM2.6 billion in exemplary damages and aggravated damages of RM42 million.

About time! Now this will be interesting because it will show the world where the judicial system is in Malaysia. Will it wimp out of its duties or will it show the world that it upholds the law and the Constitution in the dispensation of justice? The bookmakers will follow the track record and shorten the odds on the 'wimp out'.

Hafiz Yatim      Hari ini, 12:14 tengah hari      Hari ini, 12:32 tengah hari

  
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad dan dua yang lain hari ini memfailkan saman terhadap Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak bagi kemungkiran kewajipan fidusiari dan salah-laku tort misfeasance dalam jawatan awam.

Saman itu difailkan di pejabat pendaftar Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur hari ini.

Selain Mahathir, plaintif lain adalah bekas ahli Wanita Umno Langkawi Anina Saadudin dan bekas Naib Ketua Umno bahagian Batu Kawan Datuk Seri Khairuddin Abu Hassan.
Najib adalah defendan tunggal dalam tuntutan itu.

Ketiga-tiga plaintif adalah sebahagian daripada gerakan Deklarasi Rakyat untuk menyingkirkan Najib sebagai perdana menteri.

Mereka memohon perintah mahkamah untuk mengisytiharkan Najib melakukan tort misfeasans dalam jawatan awam dan tort kemungkiran fidusiari dengan menyalah-gunakan kedudukannya.

Menurut mereka, Najib sebagai perdana menteri, pengerusi BN, presiden Umno dengan niat jahat dan mala fide menghalang, mencampuri, menindas dan menyalah pintas pelbagai siasatan dan inkuiri berhubung skandal 1MDB berserta kemasukan dana dalam anggaran USD700 juta (RM2.6 bilion) ke dalam akaun peribadi banknya.

Mereka juga memohon perisytiharan yang sama di mana Najib menyalah-gunakan kedudukan beliau untuk mengambil tindakan terhadap Anina dan Khairuddin.

Mereka juga menuntut RM2.6 bilion sebagai ganti rugi teladan dan ganti rugi berpanjangan sebanyak RM42 juta.

UALA LUMPUR, March 23 — Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today sued Datuk Seri Najib Razak for alleged interference in government investigations on 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) and the RM2.6 billion political donation.

In the lawsuit filed against Najib for alleged misuse of power and breach of duty, Dr Mahathir claimed that the prime minister had taken steps to impede investigations on the two controversies.

“This suit is with regard to the tort of misfeasance in public office and tort of breach of fiduciaries in public office committed by Najib Razak in furtherance of his corrupt practise of carrying out various steps that were actively and deliberately taken in bad faith and with mala fide to obstruct, interfere, impede and derail the various investigations and inquiries which were being conducted by various legal enforcement agencies and statutory bodies pertaining to the allegation of the above,” his lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla said in a statement today.

This is the first lawsuit against Najib by Dr Mahathir, Malaysia’s longest serving former prime minister who has been leading a campaign calling for the former’s removal over alleged financial irregularities.

Haniff, who filed the suit on behalf of Dr Mahathir and two other former Umno members, said his clients felt that they had to seek the court’s help to “reverse the destruction of the rule of law and the sanctity of the provision of our Federal Constitution”.

He said his clients are expected to give a press conference regarding the lawsuit soon.

The two others who filed the lawsuit at the Kuala Lumpur High Court are Datuk Seri Khairuddin Abu Hassan and Anina Saadudin, two former Umno members who earlier this month signed the “Citizens’ Declaration” along with Dr Mahathir and 42 others to seek Najib’s resignation as the prime minister.

In the trio’s statement of claim sighted by Malay Mail Online, the three plaintiffs in the suit claimed that Najib had attempted to avoid negative repercussions from the investigations.

They also said that the prime minister has no constitutional and legal power to use his public office for personal gain.

They are seeking for the court to declare that Najib has committed the alleged tort by using his official positions as prime minister, Barisan Nasional chairman and Umno president to interfere with the investigations, as well as to “unjustly punish” them for exercising their rights and duties as citizens to question and demand answers on 1MDB, the RM2.6 billion donation and a RM42 million sum involving former 1MDB unit SRC International.

They also want the court to order Najib to pay exemplary damages of RM2.6 billion and aggravated damages of RM42 million to the government of Malaysia, although they said the exact sum will be left to the court to assess.

On January 26, Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali cleared Najib of criminal wrongdoing in the corruption probes on former 1MDB subsidiary SRC International Sdn Bhd, and the transfer of an alleged RM2.6 billion donation into the prime minister’s private accounts.

Among other things, Apandi said evidence showed that a US$681 million (RM2.08 billion) sum was a personal donation from the Saudi royal family to Najib without any consideration, with the unutilised portion of US$620 million (RM2.03 billion) later returned.

Apandi had also said there was no evidence to show that Najib had any knowledge of or had given any approval for the transfer of funds from SRC International’s accounts into his accounts.

He also said he will return the three investigation papers to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and instruct them to close the cases.
