MACC should cease all efforts and attempts to subject Mahajoth Singh to an investigation, as he is a lawyer who is merely fulfilling his professional obligation in representing his client, Albert Tei, said Lawyers for Liberty (LFL) co-founder Eric Paulsen.

He said the questioning of Mahajoth amounts to unwarranted harassment, which constitutes a grave intrusion upon the independence of the legal profession and an affront to the fundamental principle of lawyer-client privilege.
