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).

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. Matthias Chang has called for justice Ian Chin to be sacked.

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 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. To liu thanks for the name of the judge who spoke up but no one believed him.

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!

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.
