PUTRAJAYA: Chief Justice Datuk Abdul Hamid Mohamad believes in working hard and with honesty.

To under-performing judges, he has this to say: “Buck up and work even harder.”

“Believe me, eventually honesty supersedes all and eventually the truth prevails,” he said after receiving his appointment as head of the judiciary.

He said he was aware that there were some judges whose performance was unsatisfactory and they should buck up and work even harder.

Former chief justice Tun Dzaiddin Abdullah, when met at the ceremony, said: “I am proud to be here not because of anything but because of the new Chief Justice.”

At the function yesterday, Tan Sri Zaki Tun Azmi was appointed as the new Court of Appeal president.

He was sworn in before senior Court of Appeal judge Datuk Tengku Baharuddin Shah Tengku Mahmud.

When approached after the ceremony, Zaki smiled and told reporters: “Let me get settled down first. Wait and see.”
