KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has objected to the Malaysian Bar's legal challenge against his royal pardon on grounds that the Bar lacked quorum.

Najib's lawyer Muhammad Farhan Muhammad Shafee, who affirmed an affidavit for a preliminary objection, stated that the applicant (Bar) had no locus to commence the legal action as its 78th Annual General Meeting (AGM) that purportedly passed a motion to file the action was void, ultra vires and a breach of statutory duty as provided in the Legal Profession Act (LPA) 1976 (LPA) when the said AGM was held without the requisite quorum in attendance.
