Veteran lawyer Karpal Singh will be seeking a review of the recent decision by the coroner in the Teoh Beng Hock inquest to clear Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz of contempt following the latter’s description of an expert witness as a liar.

Contrary to coroner Azmil Muntapha Abas’s assertion , said Karpal, Nazri did indeed harbour a ‘bad motive or ill-intention or to interfere’ with the court proceedings as evidenced by the minister’s subsequent statements on the matter in Parliament.
