The prostitution of the Malaysian judiciary.

The hallowed halls of the judiciary were stained 20 years ago, with the intervention of the executive, but that doesn’t make it any easier for Malaysians to veed out this mockery.

I can’t resist stealing some juicy paragraphs from the link above. This is calling a spade a spade, a rotten judge, well…A ROTTEN JUDGE!

I don’t have to tell you how to judge the judge. You must know by now how to do it if you have read my articles in the Internet. You will know he is a bad judge if he behaves unfairly to one side as against the other. It is your perception as a member of the public that matters and not what the judge thinks of himself.

A judge who does not appear to be fair is useless to the judicial process. As such he is a bad judge and is therefore unfit to sit on the bench. The other essential qualification of a judge is to administer justice according to law.

Bad judgment. Bad judges. Dangerous precedent. Taking the Malaysia Boleh spirit to murky depths don’t you think?

I’m no legal scholar. I’m an interested layman. What this tells me is that if an elected representative of the people, an MP or leader of the opposition parties can’t depend on the judiciary to uphold the letter of law, and justice, WHAT HOPE DOES AN ORDINARY MALAYSIAN HAVE?

Cry, Malaysia! This is the depths our so-called guardians of peace, freedom and democracy have reduced to. Right-minded individuals, pillars of society, people who stand up to question the wrongs committed, are sued, intimidated or bribed into silence.

And those who still won’t keep quiet, will have their compromising pictures circulated or be victim of sting operations. Hey, we have demonstrated that Malaysians are way up there with the world’s best when it comes to political skull duggery.

I don’t want this shameful state of affairs to continue. Neither do millions of Malaysians who voted the other way last year.

We have no other recourse but to seek change through the ballot box. 82 seats in Parliament has resulted in many cans of worms being opened. There are more, much much more.

All these wrongs have to be righted. They can only be righted if you choose to participate as citizens. Go and register as voters. And vote for change.

This country deserves much better.
