KUALA LUMPUR, June 15 — The family of late firefighter Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim have discontinued their attempt to cite former attorney general Tan Sri Tommy Thomas for contempt of court, their lawyers said today.
Following the family’s instructions to stop the appeal filed by Adib's father, the firm of Messrs Mohd Zubir Embong submitted a notice of withdrawal on May 31 May, with the Attorney General’s Chambers also dropping a related appeal.
“Therefore, the family of the late Adib considers the process and proceedings of contempt of court against Tommy Thomas/AGC completed and ended here, and hopes the community can allow the family members of the deceased to continue living by looking ahead and starting a new life," the firm said in a statement.
