Good for the goose good for the gander?

That's what happens when you don't think of the consequences mate! Lain kali pikir dulu!

I read from the Malaysiakini site that the MB for Puchong i.e YB Gobind Singh is about to challenge his suspension from Parliament in court. Well I think this is one that has the classic saying "whats good for the goose is equally good for the gander!". I support YB Gobind in his endeavour. In fact I wish I could be part of the team that brings this matter to court! Ha-Ha!

Look if the Federal Court can say that it has the jurisdiction to enquire into matters involving the Perak state assembly then surely the courts now have the equal jurisdiction to enquire into the suspension of YB Gobind from Parliament! Maybe YB Gobind can come to court and say that the Speaker was wrong in meting out the suspension because the end result of the said suspension would have been to penalise the poor innocent constituents of Puchong; therefore it was Ultra Vires the Federal Constitution! Hmmmm........interesting! I say brilliant!

I wonder how the courts are going to decide in this matter now? Ultra Vires or no Ultra Vires ?

Hmmmmmm....................

I end this post by stating for the record HRH Sultan Azlan Shah’s own words in the judgment of the Federal Court in 1979 when he was acting Chief Justice (Malaya) re: Sri Lempah.He said, inter alia:“Every legal power must have legal limits otherwise there is dictatorship. In particular it is a stringent requirement that a discretion should be exercised for a proper purpose, and that it should not be exercised unreasonably.
