Explanation required!

Care to explain Mr Former AG ?

I read with much interest the letter published in yesterday's News Straits Times written by one Abdul Razak Abu Samah. The letter speaks volumes as to the will of the Government in wanting to see real change in the Judiciary. The writer says that the government and the former AG has much to explain for the Judicial crisis of 1988. He says that it is incumbent on the former AG i.e. Tan Sri Abu Talib to explain why he prosecuted in the first place when no right thinking lawyer would have done so ! He also adds that the former AG owes the people of Malaysia and the Judiciary an explanation as to what happened then. I happen to agree with the writer on all points raised in the letter. I say sometimes you have to go backwards in order to go forward in peace !

The so called reforms that are going to be/being introduced by the Government presently falls short of the mark by my reckoning. I say that should the government be really honest and sincere about wanting to see real reforms be made to the Judiciary it must begin by going back in time to explain the happenings of the 1988 Judicial fiasco. Then it must do the right thing. Mere explanations are not sufficient. In any case of wrongdoing it must then take the initiative to prosecute and bring to book all those who were responsible for the decline of our Judiciary.

The government must also take the initiative to bring to book all those involved in the "Lingam tapes". Enough time has lapsed for the investigation and even the initiation of bringing charges against all the "actors" in that ugly episode. To dilly dally and say "semua masih dalam siasatan" and "we will take action in due course" is absolute rubbish.Things are moving to slowly to my liking presently.

Hellooo..... Gomen semua tidurkah ?
