| 2002-03-14 | Should not Dato' Seri Ling Liong Sik be charged for corruption? When the Prime Minister, Dato' Seri Mahathir Mohamed, wanted to
destroy politically his chosen deputy, he had him arrested for
corruption and sodomy. The corruption charges related not for
taking bribes or accepting money from those who wanted his
favours but for misusing his power by asking the police to
investigate allegations of corruption against him. The High Court Judge that convicted him accepted that definition. It
meant any cabinet minister or officer who misused his office and
power in the course of his work could be convicted for
corruption. That most people in authority at some time or other
did it is neither here nor there. Under these rules, they are
guilty of corruption if they are caught out.

| 2002-02-09 | Why is Datin Heliliah only a High Court judge? The Judiciary is so compromised that even a determined Chief
Justice as we have now, Tan Sri Mohamed Dzaiddin Abdullah, cannot
return to its pristine role of only 15 years ago. The
time-honoured rules of the past is thrown to the winds, and with
every move that is welcomed, another casts doubt. So, the former
Attorney-General, Tan Sri Mohtar Abdullah, is appointed to the
Federal Court and on track to be chief justice, the in seniority
in the legal service, the solicitor-general, who should
reasonably be appointed to the Court of Appeal, is a High Court Judge instead.

| 2001-10-07 | Women Fight A Rearguar Battle to Temper Islam What has made their task easier is the ease with which women
have moved into politics, business and government. Malaysia has
had at least a woman minister since the first general elections
in 1959; today there are three. Four High Court Judges,
including one in the Supreme Court or is known here, Federal
Court are women, as is the Attorney-General is a woman, as is one
secretary general of a ministry. There are women ambassadors and
women holding high office in business and industry. Their civil
rights, especially in Islam, are circumscribed, and this is where
the SIS is most active. It argues that Islam should be practiced
in Malaysia in the Shafie school that Malays belong to, not in
the stricter Wahabbi strain prevalent in Saudi Arabia that
subsumes it. This Wahabbi Islam has gained converts and interest
because of large dollops of Saudi money. Since Wahabbi Islam
preaches a fundamentalist Islam, complete with the full burqa for
women and a harsh penal creed, the SIS role include a determined
campaign to keep that out.

| 2001-06-17 | Arrogance And The National Front Two High Court Judges raise constitutional issues which shock the
government and UMNO to impotent silence. The MCA buys two
newspapers and immense trouble and problems. And view, in
arrogance, the crumbling support that caused it. They do not
live, one is certain, in cloud cuckoo land; but they believe what
they say swirls support around them. Nothing could be further
from the truth. When they should act as leaders, they behave as
those who pass comments at people and issues at tea stalls.

a habeas corpus petition, it was to reaffirm that in
instances where national security is breached, the
government must have the right to such harsh, often
undemocratic and even illegal measures.
