KUALA LUMPUR: The Bar Council hopes acceptable criteria will be used by the
Government in the selection of the Chief Justice. The post of Chief Justice
becomes vacant on Oct 18.
Council president Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan said that in the absence of a
judicial appointments commission, acceptable norms would need to prevail.
She said seniority in terms of the position currently held was one criterion,
and seniority in terms of the years of experience on the Bench was another
important consideration.
“Integrity, judicial temperament and a demonstration of independence are also
vital qualities,” she said.
“The Chief Justice sets the tone in the judiciary and guides its direction, and
therefore, must enjoy the confidence of Malaysians,” she said in a statement
yesterday.
