Black Ribbon for Justice
Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) has released a video recording it obtained recently implicating a prominent lawyer purportedly brokering the appointment of judges.
The Bar Council has issued the following press statement:
"The Bar Council is appalled by the disturbing Malaysiakini report today and the shocking video clip that accompanies it that shows a lawyer apparently “fixing” judicial appointments with a senior judge. Rumours and allegations of such machinations have been rife since the Judicial Crisis in 1988. With the emergence of this video clip, the concerns expressed by various quarters in relation to the judiciary can no longer be swept aside. Immediate and urgent action must be taken. A Royal Commission of Inquiry into this matter and the affairs of the Judiciary must be appointed. Nothing less will do."
It is indeed a sad day for justice in this country.
