The problem?? The problem is in trying to get rid of cancerous cells, radiation also kills the healthy cells in the process - and the patient may die as a result.

A Tribunal is a double edge sword. If subsequently a high moral standard is applied and it is found that many judges are unfit for some reason or reasons to hold office, a purge would deny the judiciary of much needed talent. What next??

In other words, the ACA reports to the AG’s Chambers, which cannot possibly be the intention of our founding fathers.

“The CJ should be retired when his term ends. But does that do anything to reform the judicial system?”

Fortunately, you asked : “But does that do anything to reform the judicial system?” Condonation of injustice and judicial rot at the highest level is akin to whitewashing a termite-infested woodwork. But in this case the cracks are so patently visible, no amount of whitewash will be able to cover the gross rot. Besides, you know how the termite’s trail goes deep and wide into the system. So, nothing short of raking up the festering planks would do. It’s cancer, man. You need surgery plus radiation of the intense kind.

Now the woprld knows where we come from in terms of world class, there is nothing left to hide. Just be humble and begin the janitorial work. Someday, we will still be able to face the world. Right or not, PM and DPM?

Now showing “LingamGate”; coming/next show “VellooGate”

” ….in the sand but to face the rakyat…”

Indeed we have short memories and are a forgiving lot. We forgave him for not up to the job because Endon was sick, then we were most understanding, excused him when he was in grief, but he surprised us with his new bride not long after. Now it looks as if his honeymoon is never-ending!

Should we tax-paying rakyat continue to foot his average twice monthly overseas trips, stand watch and do nothing at all? Or we request that he retires and spend his honeymoon on his own pension?

This issue will open a whole can of worms for the UMNO led goverment.All the cases handled by LIMGAM and FAIRUZ will now come under question.

PAK LAH ,must not run away from this issue,The 3 men panel must also work with out fear or favor , because their reputation is also at stake..

In the UN, Malaysia probably ranks 100 in terms of what influence she wields to make things happen.

And of course his speech at the GA will probably wear out the audience.

The fella’s just refering to the tons of SKII skin products he has purchased to make his dark skin a bit fairer in order to impress Jean

CEMERLANG, GEMILANG, TEMBERANG !

If this guy has some cow sense, he should have cancelled his trip to the UN, stay home to clear the mess, not that he is badly needed in UN! How could he have ignored something that serious, to have the nation’s 2000 lawyers braved the rain and took to the streets for “Walk for Justice” !

Coming from someone who insulted the religion of another, this is indeed ‘refreshing’.

This I believe is the reason why a Royal Commission of Inquiry would never be set up. A more practical way from the PM’s point of view woud be to ease those involved towards an early retirement for ‘health reasons’. The CJ should be retired when his term ends.

But does that do anything to reform the judicial system?

This raises issues relating to accountability. Are there some important decisions – and often quite wrong and reactionary ones at that – being principally made by the No. 2 for which the No. 1 just subsequently went along?

It may legitimately be enquired : Who is in charge? Who is trying to be in charge ? And who is trying to usurp control ?

It has happened before. When NST published the “Non Sequitur comic strip by Wiley Miller” the cabinet’s decision to require the NST to ’show-cause’ why action ought not to be taken against it was made when No. 2 was presiding the cabinet, which upon return of the PM, NST’ predicament was diffused by an issuance of a simple apology. Even the reaffirmation of the country being an “Islamic State” was made by No. 2 which No. 1 later indirectly contradicted by saying that the country was neither secular nor Islamic and later vacillating back to the country being an Islamic state….

Was the cabinet decision to withdraw subsidies for fuel principally influenced by No. 2, who is also Chairman of the Cabinet Committee on Fuel? Just as in the case of the cabinet’s decision in Jan 2007 to inflate the RM 5.35 billion contract to build naval vessels awarded in the 1990s to Amin Shah’s PSC-Naval Dockyard Sdn Bhd to that of RM 6.75 billion and waiver of penalty of RM 214 million for late delivery by the contractor, for which the Auditor General could find no justification?

It is interesting to look into the extent of “power sharing” going on between the top 2 but the number 1 must remember that ultimately the buck stops at his feet and he is answerable to rakyat.

The general rule of the thumb in any organisation, including corporation, responsibility is hand and glove to power to decide. One does not share power and yet have to account and be responsible for the wrong decisions of others.

I shall let our earlier commenter, straight talk, say the last word “We hope that after your travel to UN you have comeback with renewed wisdom”.

We hope that after your travel to UN you have comeback with renewed wisdom. Do what is good for you. Let the people judge you for wisdom you have compared to TDM. You are a man of religion at heart. Advice the King.. have a royal commission clean up the judiciary. At least when you go on trial with Kamaluddin & KJ you have a judiciary you can be sure is of the highest integrity.

“Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.” Georges Braque.

Now we wonder when a person swears in our court to speak “the truth, nothing but the truth”, what does this mean to our judges? Especially tainted judges!

We must all do more to protect the Judiciary against manipulations by anyone, including the government.

For a start you can sign the petition being organised by the lawyer Haris Ibrahim and also take the poll on my site.

I fully agree with you and everyone else here, that we need, as a minimum first step, a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI).

But I fear, as a layperson, that even after the miracle happens, that an RCI is indeed set up, that there are still so many areas that can go wrong.

E.g. in the best case scenario, assuming the RCI comes out with the most damning criticism of the current judicial system, and provides a long list of recommendations for changes, who will be in charge in implementing all the recommendations? The PM and his cronies?

Even under this miraculous situation, those in power with vested interests to protect will still try their best to wriggle their way out of it. They will seek, find and take every edge they can get. And we all know the limitations of the written word. The world is not short of creative minds, constantly finding creative solutions, that goes outside the intention of the writers.

The root cause is the honesty and integrity of our PM and the people below him. The PM can talk about honesty and integrity at the start or before his term, but at this advance stage - 4 years of administration - where he faces so many critical issues, he cannot continue to talk without the walk. I am dissappointed that I am not observing him walking his talk.

In the most successful global organizations, those who don’t walk the talk are quickly eliminated. If Malaysia truly wants to be the best country it can ever be, she needs to quickly eliminate PMs who are ineffective, and worse, without honesty, integrity and good moral character. A PM who is clever, intelligent, hardworking is useless to a nation if he has no integrity and good moral character. His cleverness, intelligence, hardworking is merely used to assist and promote corruption and personal gains. There can be no substitute for integrity and good moral character for our leaders.

The people will have a real decision to make in this upcoming election. The opposition must provide real choices in alternative leaders. We must make every vote count.

Our current government has a long history of corruption that is undeniable. The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing (vote BN), and expecting a different result (corruptions cease). Let’s hope the Oppositions can do a better job this time, to help the Rakyat wake up from their insane lives and past insane decisions.

Old observer.

1. How to ensure that the videoclip will never be authenticated.
2. How to tell the mainstream press to suppress further publicity.
3. How to intimidate those from the Opposition who have made publicity capital from the videoclip.
4. Track down the whistleblower and ask him/her for a price.

That’s what I would do if I were the leader of the den of thieves. Transparency can never been in their vocabulary.

By the way, don’t lose sight of the PKFZ4.6B;the 6 patrol boats & the poor Mongolian ….
Anyone has a comprehensive “to watch list”? I want to put it up my BRIGHT-I blog.
Thanks!
