2001-05-13 The Anwar Trial That Was Not Puts The Government On Trial

2001-05-10 Anwar And Civil Society

The government's and UMNO's monopoly on power is broken. The National Human Rights Commission, Suhakam, strikes a more independent stance, challenging the official view, and, in the light of the recent ISA detentions, demanding, in the manner of opposition parties in times past, that they be brought to court and to see their families. A High Court Judge orders that two detainees in whose name habeas corpus petitions are filed be brought to court, the first time in memory one has so ordered.

2001-02-22 Federal Court Appealed To Rehear The Vincent Tan Libel Appeal

The High Court Judge in the case is now in the Court of Appeal and would have been, if the Conference of Rulers did not have its way, in the Federal Court. Since then an affidavit surfaced alleging that Dato' Lingam had written part or all of the judgement in that case. Damages of RM10 million was awarded against the defendants, the sum being half what Tan Sri Vincent Tan had demanded from the witness box, providing no evidence or witnesses to back it. My share was RM2 million. One defendant does not exist on the face of this earth, but Tan Sri Vincent's solicitors served him with the writ and the court awarded RM1 million against him. I was not served with the writ although my signature is on the master copy. I know how that was got, but that is neither here not there. I had to obtain a copy of the writ from Vincent Tan's solicitors when I was told about the case three weeks before it was heard. I had until then not known of this at all.

2000-12-30 Dr M: "Malaysian Judges Are Not Angels"

The people, he now says, must be "flexible" when judging the judiciary. He, in effect, says that they should keep quiet when the chief judiciary and his judicial henchmen went about to prove that one should not expect justice when one's opponent in court is a business man close to those in power. He kept quiet when, in a libel action, the defendant swore that a High Court Judge had the plaintiff's lawyer, in another libel case, write the judgement in favour of his client. Is this what the Prime Minister means by insisting judges are imperfect? And what problems do these imperfect judges face? That they could not be appointed to the federal court out of turn?
