The law is an ass.”

Please don’t insult my ass!

Right on!!

As Malik Imtiaz Sarwar had put it…”The expectation that all affairs will be conducted to the exclusive convenience and the advantage of the Barisan Nasional and its leaders is more suited to a dictatorship in which the Rule of Law means nothing.”

Well Sir, you can replace ‘Barisan Nasional’ with UMNO.

…and (if I may add) over just as many years, Malaysians have come to show little repect for the law as their leaders manipulate it to serve their interests with the help of the judiciary. Malaysians routinely bribe public officials and law enforcement officers to get what they want. They are no different from the legislators.

Malaysians have never come to know the rule of law and why it is important.

As for their Constitution, their lawmakers would do well to flush it down the toilet. Even the toilet paper in the restroom of the lobby of Parliament Building serves public interest in more ways than our Constitution could hope to do.

Anybody who says the constitution is supreme should have his head checked. What?? The legislature is supreme because it can amend the constitution willy-nilly? Not even the legislature but UMNO-BN lawmakers are supreme.

Every has had a role in this mess and every has to be blamed.

i challenge the federal govt. to reveal the actual figures of total govt.servants into details,not just mentioning 1.2 or 1.3 million,a stupid guy will believe it is such a small figure,i have mentioned a couple of times,it’s actually 2.5 million!

you see,from the newspaper yesterday,merely teachers has already a whopping 370,000!

police:200,000,
army:300,000,
bomba,pga,fru:100,000
macc:5000
nurse n dr:250,000
putrajaya staff:50,000
dbkl and all PBTs:250,000
kementerian pelajaran,kesihatan,mahkamah,jakim,ikan,alam sekitar,tenaga/air dan komunikasi,dalam negeri,luar negeri,budaya,wanita,sukan,income tax,immigration,custom,blablabla all over
the country,how many do you guess?plus the unnamed jabatan-2 and kementerian-2,easily 1 million,so total up:2.5 million!

my goodness,i havent take into account the Suruhanjaya,like the SPR,SC,member of parliaments n their assistance n staff,embassies n their staff outside malaysia…………

so,it is actually 3 million,but the sleeping head is all the whle telling us 1.2 million,why not we ask hm to pay the salaries of the 1.8 million himself?

if we enjoy a good services,many would not mind,but,their number is huge,services are terrible!

i hope the PR will make this a big issue,pressure them to announce the actual figures into breakdowns and reduce unnecessary departments,save the Rakyat’s money!

Otherwise – this denying of one side of his right to counsel guaranteed by the Constitution and acquiescence with conflicts of interest of the State Legal Department representing both sides of a dispute – would make a mockery of Malaysian court proceedings and justice is not only not seen done, but injustice is positively seen done instead.

If I were a person bias against Sivakumar/Perrak PR, and called upon to adjudicate the dispute, it would be a wiser course for me to allow Siva to have his own lawyers and even Queen counsel if he so desires – so that “impartiality & fairness” is a least “seen” done at the outset to back my bias ruling later that however cogent Sivakumar’s lawyers argue his case, “I am still not convinced with the merits, that properly should go to opposite side, Zamri’s’.

However it is obvious that if Zamri & 6 others contend that they are lawful representatives of Perak state govt (validly appointed) and not Mohd Nizar, who has been dismissed – and it is also clear that Speaker Siva Kumar is alleged to be siding the side that has been, according to Zamri, lawfully dismissed – then it is incumbent that solicitors of Zamri & 6 others should have been dismissed instead of Siva’s.

I address this comment to my old friend Siva’s lawyer Nga Hock Cheh (if he’s reading this) to take the point on appeal. He ought to to understand what I am talking about!

In other words, Zamri & 6 others say that they are the state government while Nizar is no longer Menteri Besar.

If they take that position, then, in relation to the Government Proceedings Act, Zamri & 6 others should have got the State Legal Counsel to represent them instead of trying to disqualify V Sivakumar from engaging private lawyers and get the State Legal Counsel to represent him!

And Judicial Commissioner Mr Ridwan Ibrahim should have disqualified the lawyers for Zamri & 6 others instead of the other way around Siviakumar’s lawyers.

With respect to the judicial commissioner, I think he ruled “wrong representation” on the wrong party (Sivakumar) than the right one (Zamri & 6 others)! :)

‘Undang-undang Ketuanan UMNO’ has obviously infected the courts with ‘marsupialitis’ where a supposedly impartial judge will display the symptom of Judge ‘I am the law!’ Dredd, playing the roles of judge, jury and executioner.

If anyone still wonders whether Zambry & Co. actually have the mandate of the people of Perak to run the state govt, wonder no more, because clearly the mandate they’ve actually got is by ‘Undang-undang Ketuanan UMNO’…

The precise reason for not hearing the case in open court is so that not to have to deal with all these tricky issues, that is my speculation.

For a good part of the fifty years after Merdeka, what ought to be the enshrined embodiment of all principles that identify this country to be a democracy steadily got trampled upon thanks to an over-zealous executive and an unchecked legislative.

If that is not bad enough, now in this embroiling grab for political power for which the Constitution should be the reference point, we even have officers of the judiciary treating it with disdain.

” Perhaps that’s what an appeal is… they’re only human after all, and I do occasionally get a bad nasi ayam.”

Suggest you sue the nasi ayam guy for damages RM 1.0 million like the judge in the U.S. who sued the Korean laundry guy for some US$14.0 million. That must have been the most expensive pair of pants in the world.

This country need EXPERIENCE POEPLE like YOU to check the activities of bn robber(robbing Perakian), thief(corruption) and rapist(rape the CONSTITUTION).

Keep up the good work AND GOD BLESS YOU!

=================================================

you know my fren,the UMNO jerks only bully local ppl,when they see european ppl,like for instance jews from israel,their ‘bola” will be gone!
they are so feared infront of us,you see some UMNO youths asking for fight from the Perak raintree and the group that confronted Karpal Singh incidents,we wonder why how come they never represented malaysia for Olympic boxing,karate,judoh,taekwndo or whatever fighting events,managed to get at least a bronze medal back to bolehland, you and i know very well,they are just “Jagong Kampong “,right?

or maybe these thugs went to a wrong profession,instead of becoming gangsters,they joint politic?

I decided against posting it, because it seemed like a terrible expense. N H Chan is to be commended for providing a local equivalent. Somebody in a position of authority (even if it is retired authority) has to do the right thing and call a spade a spade.

As for those wronged, isn’t the ‘right’ thing to do to take some sort of civil action against the judge for failing to deliver justice? Perhaps that’s what an appeal is… they’re only human after all, and I do occasionally get a bad nasi ayam.
