Former AG Slams Justice Chin

News Headline 2008-06-11 17:41

PETALING JAYA: Former Attorney General Abu Talib Othman today slammed High Court Judge Ian H.C. Chin claiming that former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad had threatened judges during his premiership.

Abu Talib who is also Human Rights Commissioin (Suhakam) chairman said the judge, “should not talk about this outside the court, his action was inappropriate because his allegation was not related with the cases which he is handling now,” Abu Talib told Sin Chew Daily when contacted in Petaling Jaya Wednesday (11 June).

Matthias Chang has called for justice Ian Chin to be sacked. The former AG Abu Talib has also had an outburst.

What is this former AG afraid of. He should immediately step down from SUHAKAM.

Justice Ian Chin was acting in proper manner when he talked in this matter in showing `openness` by revealing to both parties to decide if he should be recused in a matter before him.

I only infer from the former AG`s outburst that he too was party to previous misdemeanors, and that he should be investigated further.

Also the AG should start proceedings against the former AG and Mathias Chang along the similar lines that Mr. Lim Guan Eng, (current Chief minister, Penang) was sent to prison on a somewhat similar matter.

I`m not sure if a police report against Mathias Chang and Abu Talib should be made as well.

I think there is more than meets the eye here.

Perhaps the poor judges are being used as a weapon against the
former PM (who is currently heavily criticising the current PM)?
Another example of Machiavellian politics at work!

Nevertheless, the more disclosures by both camps (by the former PM in his blog and by the present PM through the mainstream media and other mouth pieces), the better for the citizens of Malaysia.

To liu thanks for the name of the judge who spoke up but no one believed him. AG says no case lah probably after consulting mamak.What a shame.Are we now going to pay conpensation to this brave judge. I think its only fair as he stuck his neck out and had it chopped.
To dawsheng… please justice datuk Chin had no choice.Its easy for us on the side lines to say that he had no balls. Think what would have happened if he told all during mamaks time. For what he has done now I salute him.

Justice Datuk H C Ian Chin is a brave man of impeccable integrity and we congratulate such judges in the judiciary. He puts judges involved in the “Lingam Tape” case, and those involved in the sacking of Tun Saleh Abbas and other judges into utter shame!

He is the beacon of hope in the Malaysian judiciary now. We certain congratulate him and some of fellow judges who stood by evidence and law and not political threat from the PM or the Chief Justice, or the President of Court of Appeal!

Now that Justice Datuk H C Ian Chin has disclosed justice is not blind but directed by someone above, can we not ask Parliament to declare there is a miscarriage of justice and declare all judgement null and void. If the wrongful dismissed judges can be compensated, then those who have suffered miscarriage of justice should also be compensated and apologized.

Malaysia stand in the world is very low because this scandal and no one will trust the country judicial system in the event of any dispute. I am sure foreigners are view the country no better than those 3rd world countries in Africa and this is one of the reasons why foreign companies are staying away. If the gov is not prepared to right the injustice and keep the judiciary independent, Malaysia dream of 2020 will be just a dream.

Another sandiwara in judiciary of East Malaysia after Lingam case. -What a shame ?

Nobody to trust in the judiciary system in Malaysia since judges are easily sway away and unindependent in their judgements. – What a shameful system ?

Prices of all goods and services are skyrockecting daily after BLACK 8 June 08 caused a mockery of the judiciary decision to allow drastic increase petrol and electricitiy prices without public opinion survey to cease such prices hike. – Shame is the best word.

No words to describe the meaning of “SHAME” !!

“… The then prime minister was scheduled to talk but he did not turn up and instead sent his then deputy who instead of talking invited questions and the one question I remembered being asked was — Are politicians looking for girls when they are often seen loitering at posh hotel lobbies?”

YB LIM

We want to know if the then Deputy PM, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, was aware of the purpose of the “boot camp” and the reason why he was there?

Surely, Mahathir qua Mahathir, he would not send someone in whom he had no complete trust or someone who was not in sync with his thoughts on the case to attend to such sensitive matter. Right?

To philip vyti:

Datuk Muhammad Kamil Awang was instructed by the ex-CJ by phone to strike out an election petition, Datuk Syed Ahmad Idid wrote a letter to the same ex-CJ on corruption in the Judiciary implicating some 12 judges including the ex-CJ. Now can someone post that 32 page letter by Datuk Syed Ahmad Idid or would the same step forward and reveal all for the sake of this country?

another act of lousy losers exercising sticky acts of preventions,

the happiness of the governed and governor are distinctively divided
but hey who gave them the mandate in the first place and now sat too long and refuse to come down form the pedestal.

Why cant those bloodies idiots go sit in the toilet for everybody sake, and he can enjoy himself there piece and quiet to the musical droppings of his desire.

I am speechless.How many more of these happenings are going to come out. What about the judge, I forget his name…. he received a call when he was hearing a case in east Malaysia then wrote a letter on the corruption in the judicary and later had to resign. Poor chap now at least people will see the truth in his statements
LKS can you remember this case?
