Comments on: Zaki should support Chief Justice’s vow of “house-cleaning” of judiciary with three measures http://blog.limkitsiang.com/2007/12/12/zaki-should-support-chief-justices-vow-of-house-cleaning-of-judiciary-with-three-measures/ for Malaysia Wed, 03 Dec 2008 08:37:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: HB Lim http://blog.limkitsiang.com/2007/12/12/zaki-should-support-chief-justices-vow-of-house-cleaning-of-judiciary-with-three-measures/#comment-69304 HB Lim Sat, 12 Jan 2008 14:36:31 +0000 http://blog.limkitsiang.com/2007/12/12/zaki-should-support-chief-justices-vow-of-house-cleaning-of-judiciary-with-three-measures/#comment-69304 Is there any way we can attempt to prevent Zaki from being promoted to the top post of the Judiciary? The judiciary has suffered since 1988 and since then it is scandal after scandal involving the top judge. When are we going to have a respectable judiciary? The issue must NOT be allowed to die a natural death. The fact is that Malaysia has too many scandals happening in quick succession that before we could finish our discussion on one scandal, another pops up to demand our attention. The first one is then quickly forgotten. They say Malaysians have short memory. I say we have too any scandals to deal with. Our hands are full. Is this a political tactic of the BN?

JONG No one can disagree with that! Perhaps I should have used another example - my bad! The outbursts in Parliament which have come to be known as the 'bocor incident' are inexcusable and deplorable and cannot be tolerated in an assembly like the legislature. It is street language and belongs to the streets. I was referring to 'sexism'. Those are not really incidents of sexism. It is not about the lack of sensitivity or respect for women. Those were outbursts by individuals who are bent on insulting fellow MPs. 'Sexism' is a word they do not understand. Being sexist or not sexist is furthest from their minds. A Muslim woman walking two steps behind her husband is 'sexism' - but sexism legitimized by religion. Not allowing women to vote because they were women at the turn of the last century, is it not sexism? We are more sexist in our behavior and attitude on a daily basis, more than we are prepared to admit and that applies to both sexes. “I have many friends who are Muslims and Confucianists yet they are exemplary human being.” JONG

We all know what that problem was. In general, I have to agree that one's personal live should have little to do with one's professional performance EXCEPT if it directly relates to it and this one does. The fact of the matter is that in dealing with his "personal problem", the man circumvented the law first in his marriage and the in his divorce. THIS IS THE PERSON WHO IS EXPECTED TO LECTURE OTHERS ABOUT UPHOLDING THE LAW NOT TO MENTION THE HONOR AND INTEGRITY OF AN ENTIRE JUDICIAL SYSTEM? One can expect UMNO politicians to be hypocrites but frankly they think nothing of extending it to the judicial system too worries me to no bounds especially if they are pushing for Islamization.

Dark Horse was just collateral damage. So Godfather please don't ask me anymore questions! Kit is understandably worried about potentially defamatory remarks made on his website. Minister of Mis-Information may quote and this time he will not be doing so as Minister of Mis-Information - just Minister of (plain) Information. Look, Jong, perhaps you've been away in Vancouver too long but many Malaysians (at least 60%) - prior to the bocor issue in Parliament - never thought sexism was wrong. What is 'sexism' by western standards may not be by Confucian or Muslim values. Jong,
