The Borneo Post published an explosive article on government’s intervention in our judiciary system during the administration under former Prime Minister Tun Mahathir Mohamad… read the full story here (via Lim KS).
Basically, Justice Datuk H C Ian Chin, a high court judge in Sarawak, revealed yesterday that the former PM had threatened to remove judges that didn’t rule in government’s favour in a number of cases.
Also revealed are other attempts from the previous government to indoctrinate judges to hold the view that the (BN) government interest as being more important than all else when considering their judgement.
Another bomb to our judicial independence… another blow for TDM.
