So far, there has been no denial that such a "conference" or "boot camp" was held. That, in itself, is an understatement. That such a "conference" - note the semantics - was held is not in doubt as those who attended the "conference" or "boot camp" only forgot what took place. This is a very serious matter since political indoctrination was conducted by no less than an outfit associated with the Prime Minister's Department calling itself Tatatertib or something like that. I cannot understand the call by two Opposition MPs for the sacking of the Judge beyond dismissing this as mere politicking for the sake of politicking. Having read up to here, I believe I need not state that I support - and endorse, if need be - the principled position taken by the Bar Council president. I also support the view given earlier in another posting by my learned friend, Haji Sulaiman Abdullah. Opposition MPs must read the Constitution and not circle around like blue-arsed flies.
