Right decisions only way for judiciary to recover glory, says attorney general
17 May 2019
PUTRAJAYA, May 17 — Attorney General Tommy Thomas says judges must always endeavour to make the right decisions, without fear or favour, and regardless of the personality of the party or the accused before them.“Malaysian judges can reach the correct decisions regularly and consistently over a substantial period of time, one can state with certainty that the confidence, initially of informed legal opinion and, subsequently, that of the public in general, will return,” he said.
He said for 30 years after Merdeka, the Malaysian judiciary enjoyed a high reputation with judges like Lord Presidents Tun Muhamed Suffian Muhamed Hashim, Raja Azlan Shah and Justice Eusoffee Abdoolcader. Thomas said Tengku Maimun’s unmatched abilities would steer the judicial ship in safe and calm waters.
