GODFATHER I understand where you are coming from and where you're going with that. We are a democracy, or at least we claim to be in terms of value and tradition though not in the workings of our government. So why should the ordinary Malaysian, the man-in-the-street be roadblocked by archaic concepts of English law expressed in Latin (not even in Bahasa) such as 'locus standi' in his or her attempt to make the government he or she has helped elect accountable?? Jeffrey QC may have something to say. “Yes, you can sue the government - but only if the judges have the b@lls to grant you locus standi.” GODFATHER

For me, it is a clear issue - theft or misuse of public funds gives locus standi to any taxpayer. The judiciary is worried that allowing such an action will result in thousands of lawsuits filed on similar grounds - but that's exactly what we need to keep the thieves in check. Unfortunately, ever since Salleh Abbas was removed by Mahathir, the judiciary is never the same again. We need to start with regime change - then we can start with revamping the judiciary into a more public-minded body and not one that is clearly in cahoots with the legislative.
