PETALING JAYA: Tan Sri Richard Malanjum will clock out for good as Chief Justice this afternoon.
But his successor has still not been publicly named.
Dr Mahathir said this to the media after officially launching the Malaysia Autoshow 2019 organised by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry and Malaysia Automotive Robotics and IoT Institute in Serdang.The Sabahan is currently serving a six-month extension allowed under the Federal Constitution which ends today.
The steps taken included tackling corruption by declaring judges’ assets, not accepting gifts for himself and setting up a collegiate for self-governance where there is a collective leadership and collective decision-making process by the top four judges – namely the Chief Justice, the Court of Appeal president and the two chief judges of Malaya, and Sabah and Sarawak.
Malanjum introduced a time sheet for management of judicial time and the E-court reforms where public service delivery is enhanced with the online balloting system, where case assignment and judges’ assignments are done by the system with no human intervention to avoid any accusations of choosing judges or courts.
