Sam Ke Ting, through her lawyer Muhammad Faizal Mokhtar, said she is disappointed with the criticism hurled against the judiciary when her acquittal was overturned.

Faizal said his client is a law-abiding citizen who believes in the sovereignty of the law and concurs with any decision of the court (while still exercising her right to appeal).

The lawyer also said that his client - while expressing sympathies with the families of the deceased - is fighting to clear her name in the case.

“She has expressed disappointment when certain quarters faulted the judicial system when she failed (at the High Court).

“Her case is not about racial issue but the important universal issue (of justice) and not a narrow-minded issue,” Faizal said.
