| 2001-03-12 | Rising To The Occasion On Saturday (10 Mar 01), Mr Justice Nathan urged a
lawyer, the Malaysian Bar and two others to settle their
differences "in the spirit of national unity". Mr K. Raja
Segaran wanted the Bar Council punished for daring to call a
meeting to discuss the judiciary's independence and
integrity, which he averred was contemptuous, sub judice and
ultra vires. He wanted Mr Raja Segaran to withdraw the two
suits, one yet to be heard. He had heard the one on 16 Nov
00 and due to deliver judgement on Saturday.

| 2000-12-06 | In Search Of A Chief Justice Indeed, while the conference wanted Dzaiddin, whose wife is a sister
of the former foreign minister, Tunku Ahmad Rithaudeen, and the
brother-in-law of the dowager Raja Permpuan of Perlis, some rulers are
unhappy at what they believe is his attempt to transform himself into a
judge of all seasons. But they still think he would initiate the changes
that must to return the judiciary to what it was. This would take more
years than he has left in office: he would be chief justice, with an
extension of six months, for two years. The Prime Minister, who nominates
the trio without reference to the outgoing chief justice, must accept it.
He cannot deny not knowing about it. He receives all papers relating to
the Conference. When all is said and done, the Conference, not the prime
minister, appoints the chief justice.

| 2000-09-07 | Tan Sri Vincent Tan Demands His Pound Of Flesh And More This letter of demand -- from Tan Sri Vincent Tan's solicitors, Messrs
Adam Bachek & Associates, of Tingkat Satu, Wisma Datuk Dagang, 53 Raja
Alang, Kampung Baru, 50300 Kuala Lumpur -- sent me on 6 September 00, is

| 2000-08-27 | Sandiwara! Oh, Sandiwara! -- Or How A Kettle Calls The PotBlack Closer home, there is the Sipadan kidnap, and the Grik arms heist.
Both are sandiwaras. No doubt about that. There is more than meets the
eye. When the Philippines stood firm about conducting the negotiations
for the release of those kidnapped -- as they must for the Malaysian writ
does not run in Mindanao, nor even Manila's as fully as it wishes -- the
Prime Minister allowed it to be turned into a sandiwara: now a
Philippines newspaper reveals a retired general shut off the radar just
before the kidnap. One does not know if this specific allegation is true
or false, but the Malaysian armed forces' active involvement in southern
Mindanao affairs is an ill-kept secret. The only retired general I know
who married a Filipina is Lieut.-General Raja Rashid bin Raja Badiozaman,
the younger brother of Raja Tun Mohar and grandson of the Sultan Abdullah
of Perak who signed the Pangkor Treaty in 1874, which brought the British
colonial presence in the Malay states and who two years later was
implicated in the murder of the first British Resident of Perak, Mr J.W.W.
Birch, at Pasar Salak two years later; he was also director-general of
military intelligence until his retirement earlier this decade. He is now
a business man. He was at Sandhurst with the Myanmar finance minister,
Brig. Gen. Abel, in the 1960s.

| 1998-11-29 | The Anwar Saga: A Masala of a Trial The Court of Appeal, meanwhile, postponed Dato' Seri Anwar's
application for bail to next Saturday. The Court of Appeal
president, Tan Sri Lamin Yunos, said the appeal would affect other
appeals. The appeal is against a High Court ruling denying bail.
Raja Aziz Addruse, Dato' Seri Anwar's counsel, said he understood
the Public Prosecutor would oppose the appeal, citing a November 21
decision of the Court of Appeal in the case of Samad Abas and
Another v The Public Prosecutor. It hinges around the amended
definition of "decision" in the Court of Judicature Act, 1994, and
which became effective on 1 August: "decision" is any judgement,
sentence or order, but does not include any ruling made in the
course of the hearing of any case or matter which does not dispose
off the rights of the parties. Since bail is applied for within the
larger case and which would not dispose off the rights of the
parties, it becomes not a matter for appeal, a further dimunition of
accused rights. The Court of Appeal fixed 5 December for the
hearing.
