00:00 A member of former Finance Minister Dayim Zainuddin's legal team has dismissed a claim

00:06 that the current team of lawyers representing him and his wife have been dropped.

00:11 Lawyer Rajesh Nagarajan said only two lawyers, Yusuf Zainal Abidin and Alex Tan, had opted

00:17 out.

00:18 Otherwise, he said the legal cohort remains intact, with Senior Counsel M Puravalan continuing

00:23 to lead the team.

00:24 Earlier, FMT reported that the retainer for Dayim's legal team was terminated because

00:29 of a difference in opinion over the conduct of the cases.

00:33 Dayim had retained the law firm of Wong Kian Kiong as solicitors and the team led by Yusuf,

00:38 who is a former Solicitor General.

00:40 On Tuesday, Dayim's wife, Naima Khalid, claimed trial in the Sessions Court to a charge of

00:45 failing to comply with a MACC notice requiring the declaration of assets.

00:50 Yesterday, MACC Chief Azambaki said that Dayim would most likely be charged next week following

00:56 his discharge from the hospital.

00:59 Natasha Bust, FMT News.
