Perhaps, Nazri now believes that he is also the Minister of the DPM! It is unbecoming for Nazri to object to and oppose the cause when the DPM has no objection to the same. I thought he couldn't comprehend the concept of Separation of Powers but now he appears to have difficulty understanding the notion of collective responsibility of the cabinet. He is acting like an opposition member (although I think that would be an unfair statement to the opposition members/parties). We have been told that there are two camps in the judiciary but now it appears that even in the cabinet, there are different camps. The DPM being sympathetic to our cause and the de facto Minister of Law commented that our Walk was "unbecoming". The office of DPM organised a representative to collect the Memorandums on behalf of the PM and the de facto Law Minister "shot down the Bar Council's Memorandum". I call on the office of the DPM to issue a statement to clarify the inconsistencies displayed by the de facto law Minister and as to why the De facto Minister seems to act like an "Opposition Member"! If the de facto law minister cannot toe the line with his colleagues or his superior in the Cabinet, then the Honorable Minster should do the honorable thing - RESIGN! Secondly, can the de facto law Minister shoot down the Memorandums when the Memorandums were presented to his Boss? His Boss, the PM not CJ ya, has not even read the Memorandums and he has the audacity to shoot it down! The de facto law Minister shot down the Memorandums even before he has the opportunity to read the contents unless he has read it even before the PM does. Wouldn't that be considered a misconduct? I think that the de facto law Minister now owes the PM, DPM and us an explanation unless the de factor law Minister now feels he is also the Minister to the Prime Minister!!! Thirdly, if DPM has no objection to our walk, why did the Police blocked and prevented the busses from ferrying our fellow lawyers to the POJ, why did the Police request us to stop the Walk and informed us that the appointment was cancelled and why was it necessary for the police helicopter to hover above us? I would like to know on whose instructions the Police was acting upon. These actions by the Police would tarnished the reputation and the integrity of the DPM's office as the Bar Council was given the assurance that the DPM's does not object to our Walk. The DPM's office should and must give and issue an explanation. Is the Police ignoring the office of DPM?

We walked 7 km, the way back to POJ in the rain. I'm proud to have participated in the walk. I was the only one from Muar as I didn't meet any others from Muar.
