DAP chairperson Karpal Singh today handed over to the King a tape recording of Chief Justice Zaki Azmi allegedly admitting that he had bribed court staff.
Karpal, who is also a practising lawyer, handed over the audio evidence to a palace staff at 4.45pm.
The veteran opposition leader said that with the evidence, the King should convene a special rulers session to sack Zaki.
The recording was of Zaki's speech at a convention in Kuching last November on 'Integrity - the Catalyst of Sustainable Development'.
The recording, which is of poor quality, was said to consist of the part where Zaki talked about bribing court staff when he was a lawyer.
Ever since his appointment as the head of the judiciary, Zaki has come under constant fire from the Bukit Gelugor MP, who strongly believes that he is not fit to be chief justice in light of his open admission of having indulged in corrupt practices during his days as a practising lawyer.
Zaki, however, has previously clarified the matter, claiming that the media had misinterpreted his comments at the Kuching conference.
Following transcript when listening to the audio file.
"It took me six months to be nice, to bribe each and every individual to get back into their good books before our files were attended to."
"That is my personal experience, I am telling this to all the clerks and all the registries to stop this nonsense."
