Comments for Lawyers criticise Karpal's stand on CJ at http://www.malaysianbar.org.my , comment 0 to 5 out of 5 comments http://www.malaysianbar.org.my Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:34:08 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.malaysianbar.org.my/bar_news/berita_badan_peguam/lawyers_criticise_karpals_stand_on_cj.html#pc_8722 This is what Zaki is reported to have said: "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 was my personal experience and I am telling this to all the clerks and all the registries to stop this nonsense." This is what Zaki claims in his clarification to have said: "Your reporter must have misinterpreted what I said, which is, during that period there was corruption in order to get things done at the court registry, as I myself have done it. I have never in my life bribed or received any bribe." [The emphasis is added.] 'A I have myself done it.' Done what? A little earlier he was talking about corruption in the judiciary and about resorting to it to get things done. A plain reading of the clarification suggests that Zaki did it too! The clarification is as bad as the first statement. Feet are for walking on not for putting into one's mouth. Either Zaki needs to attend an English primer and get his grammar sorted out or he was, for want of a better expression, 'hoist on his own petard'. Let Karpal get on with things. Baradan's 'senior' lawyers? Anonymous remarks and comments should be given short shrift. Fahri is right. Own up or shut up!

If he is unwilling to standby what he says and face its consequences he should shut up and crawl back into whichever hole s/he came from. These are the senior lawyers who are all swagger and talk but no action. And please lah, there's no such things as 'legal sensitivities'. Since when was there a legal or illegal sensitivity. It is for this reason I pay scant attention to one's seniority where courage, intelligence and honesty is concerned. You can be senior and still be a joke like this one.

Whats so sensitive about that when so many others post comments here with their identity being revealed here!!!!! any way bottom line whats is of much importance here is the authenticity of the allegations made... VK's issue was serious? !!! You must be joking !!!! So is the senior lawyer trying to say that the allegations raised against the CJ who is to be the highest rep of the judiciary is petty? Give us a break learned senior !!!! Am sure you can do better than that.

Interestingly, Baradan the journalist have quoted two unnamed "senior lawyers" in an attempt to give both sides of the picture. At first glance, I am inclined to feel that the story has been slanted against the Opposition. For instance, how does the "senior lawyer" form the view that it is all about politics, and not about judiical reform. For all we know, both aspects may be ventilated. Anyway, this is the first time in the history of the Malaysian Parliament that a "substantive motion" - not the "subjective motion" (I hope it is just a typographical error and not a strategic misrepresentation" since it is just too early in the piece to do that) - has been filed. Let us see how the Government responds to this Opposition initiative. Let us hope that it will not respond like the three blind mice!
