"Thirdly, my officers, who are performing their traditional role as counsel assisting the coroner, have informed me that Syazlin takes an active part in the inquest, often contradicting the positions our DPPs have taken, thus causing embarrassment in her capacity as the ministry's lawyer.

"Finally, I must add that before the inquest proceedings started yesterday, DPP Faten Hadni Khairuddin, one of the conducting officers assisting the coroner in the inquest, personally spoke with Syazlin and informed her that this Chambers had no issue with her continuing to represent the deceased's family.
