No wonder so many candidates failed in the CLP, because we Malaysian practice the different kind of the Separation of Powers. Shall we send those CLP candidates for a special tutor class conducted by Honorable Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz? Clement Ong Tun Heang - Clement Ong Tun Heang

CJ's past record bad

Mon, 24 Sep 2007 19:35:13 +0100

Lest we forget, this is also the same CJ who had contradicted himself vis-a-vis the unwritten judgments issue. First he denied that there were judges who had more than 30 outstanding judgements to be written. Subsequently it was proven that he wasn't telling the truth. Now, we have the same CJ (through his proxy) denying being the person whom VK Lingam spoke to. Are we supposed to accept the CJ's explanation at face value given his past record?

"On why Ahmad Fairuz has been evading the media, Nazri said it was because the former is not answerable to the press." Didn't the CJ issue a statement to Malaysiakini that he had no comment on the clip? Kelvin Ng Sin Huat - Kelvin Ng Sin Huat

Stooping low? Speaking of who??

"I am his minister." What a brilliant line given. Be it the minister had learnt about separation of powers in law school, he obviously failed to appreciate that the separation is supposed to be a 'clear separation'. Since he is in the branch of the executive, he just needs to serve his PM well and nothing more than that, certainly not being a minister TO any judges. With such a grey area of overlapping boundary, can the judiciary be still independent? What is the need for a judge to use a minister as his spokesman? Why did the judge need such a favour from a minister? And more importantly, what did/will the judge do to return such a favour? The Bar had made it clear that the reason for the upcoming march is due to our long outcry of reform which had not been answered for, so we hope this marching will awake our society and shake the highest authority on this important issue by telling them the Bar will not tolerate such a nonsense. The learned minister viewed that the Bar by doing the marching had stooped very low in standard, be that as it may, I am proud to say that the Bar at least did not bend as low as others can in order to rub each other's back.

CJ answerable to the Minister?

The Honorable Minister seems to be very concerned with "proper manner" response and yet he is claiming that he is the CJ's minister and the CJ is answerable to him! Can some first year law students volunteer to tutor him on the doctrine of separation of powers?? Kelvin Ng Sin Huat - Kelvin Ng Sin Huat
