If they were wrongly maligned, there should be a tribunal finding that. If we want to redress a wrong, it has to be a redress. The fact that the payment was "ex-gratia" means it cannot redress anything. The payment was tax-payers money. People have the right to know. Our government cannot buy its way out with our money to redress any wrong done to anyone on a "suka-suka" basis. There must be a tribunal or court finding that the dismissals were wrongful and damages awarded on that basis. Sympathy and gut feel have no place here standing on its own. There must be a clear effort to uncover the truth and correct what up to now everyone only feels was done wrongly.

If indeed "the trauma these six judges were subjected to can never be measured in terms of ringgit" (which I do not dispute), then why was it addressed SOLELY in terms of ringgit? Worse still, why call it ex-gratia, as though the Government is being magnanimous & generous? Having called it ex gratia & not admitting that grave errors were committed in 1988, how can the author's above argument hold water? Yeo Yang Poh - Yeo Yang Poh Mon, 17 Nov 2008 15:06:22 +0100
