'Somebody should compile all the High Court decisions which went against the government and later overturned by the Court of Appeal.'
Chipmunk: "Day to day" means 'Occurring or done each day'. So Court of Appeal, how do you interpret section 30 (3)(a)? Unless you guys work on rotating shifts or office hours running 24/7, I suggest you stick with what the High Court has ruled.
But knowing BN, they will use the appellate court to maximise their interest. Shame on you, Court of Appeal, you seem to be without any backbone.
Multi Racial: Just look back this year. We don't have to look too far. Every case decided by the High Court judges that is not in favour of the government or Umno, is overturned by the Court of Appeal.
Some of them were done so fast with very short notice like the MB vs MB case in Perak. But when it is the other way around and the opposition appeals, it takes months and years, and it will be complete waste of time as the conclusion is already decided.
KayKay: Somebody should compile all the High Court decisions which went against the government and later overturned by the Court of Appeal. In fact, all these Court of Appeal rulings, few were written judgments.
The Mazu case is a good example. This is how they jam the wheels of justice. Without a written judgment from the Court of Appeal, it's not possible to proceed to the Federal Court.
Foo Wy Len: The same story has repeated once too often. Why bother to have the High Court when even the bookie will never take any bet on the verdict by the Court of Appeal! Get ready for GE13, we will have our say.
Alexander Yuan: Expected that result a long, long time ago. Sigh, some things never change when BN remains in power!
Kgan: Now the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) can carry on with their sleep deprivation Gestapo tactics for opposition members.
MACC is now permitted to interrogate witnesses around the clock, throughout the night if they want. They are also immune from lawsuits. MACC is a cruel joke of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi on Malaysians before he left office. People had expected a more effective and independent anti-corruption body to replace the ACA.
What they got is an Umno-serving, opposition-chasing, pitiless Gestapo outfit whose officers are above the law.
Paul Warren: "By right, witnesses should be fresh when they are to be interrogated and people should not be subjected to being interrogated late at night."
I say, you don't interrogate a witness. You interview a witness. Anything beyond interviewing behooves an element of coercion and maybe even duress, if not torture in the usual Malaysian context that most of us are inclined to believe.
You interrogate a suspect, of course. A witness, until it is established that he/she might be implicated in a crime, remains a witness and should be only subject to an interview. With ‘kueh' and tea if you don't mind!
But the moment it can be established that the testimony or statement and other evidence adduced during the interview implicates the witness, if there is to be impropriety, the witness should be told that his status has changed to be that of an accused or a suspect. I believe that person will be better prepared mentally to deal with the interrogation to come.
Amaso: Why so hard working when others have gone home? Just wonder why MACC is fighting to work longer hours (in this case round-the-clock) while almost 99 percent of both government and private employees leave office when the time is up.
MACC deserves ‘The World's Most Hard Working Statutory Body' in the Guinness Book of Record
