HORNBILL That's the point. The ex gratia payment is not an apology, not an admission of any wrongdoing but just an acknowledgement of the personal sacrifice and suffering of the judges who were removed before the end of their tenure. How convenient. If this were to be treated like an ordinary wrongful dismissal case, then the plaintiffs are entitled to monetary compensation not less than their last drawn salary multiply by the remaining years of service. That is only loss of earnings. With general and special damages and punitive damages the quantum would be way in excess of a few million ringgits. The BN government must have taken legal advice and advised not to muddy the water by going so far as to admit to anything. Hence the “ex gratia” and the “no apology” position. And that's why Tun M is screaming "You can't touch me" in this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMzoBkaFxh4&feature=related “I would propose that Tun M be made to personally compensate these judges for their monetary losses with an appropriate ex-gratia as damages for all their sufferings over and above the apology.” HORNBILL

Hello, I think the Tun deserves more than a big slap. He should be made to kow-tow ('apologise') to theose judges he abused. And why should taxpayers' money be made to pay those judges for what is basically the fault of one man, Tun M. I would propose that Tun M be made to personally compensate these judges for their monetary losses with an appropriate ex-gratia as damges for all their sufferings over and above the apology. stevchew Says:

He seems very spontaneous to criticize when the matter involves DAP or Hindraf or other less privileged communities. He may be a nice guy but that's it !
