Whilst there may be criticism of the manner in which the Judge raised these
issues, society must nevertheless support the Judge in his effort to disclose
what he believes to be unacceptable interference with the Judiciary. Those that
disclose wrongdoings must, notwithstanding any imperfection in the manner of
disclosure, always be encouraged to do so. The matter of primary importance is
that such disclosures must be credibly investigated, so that all parties named
are given a fair opportunity to be heard, and so that the truth may be
ascertained. Comments (1)

Circular No 304/2008 : Invitation - HR Debate 2008
As I have written somewhere else earlier, the issue is whether or not such a "boot camp" was held? 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.
