INTRODUCTION This paper concentrates mainly on how Malaysia, a country composed of many races and religions, creates and enforces its laws in order to sustain the peace that has lasted more than half a century. I have recently retired as a judge, so my view on this subject is from a judge’s perspective. Malaysia is located just north of the equator, about halfway around the world from Utah. It is geographically divided into two main regions by the South China Sea. These two regions are the Peninsula Malaysia and Sabah and Sarawak. Peninsula Malaysia was known as Malaya, but in 1963, the British colonies

  • Chapter II the Method of Appointment of Judges to the Superior Courts of Malaysia Under the Federal Constitution and the Judicia
    Chapter II The Method of Appointment of Judges to the Superior Courts of Malaysia Under the Federal Constitution and the Judicial Appointments Commission Despite the fact that the question of performing judicial functions independently by judges comes after their appointment, the method of appointment of judges is the crucial and dominant factor to ensure their substantive independence, the independence which greatly depends upon the independent character, integrity, equanimity, legal knowledge and keen intellect of the persons who would hold the office of judges. For, the appointment of a judge on account of political allegiance in utter disregard to the questions of his qualifications, merit, ability, competency, integrity and earlier performance as an advocate or judicial officer may bring in, to use the words of President Roosevelt, ‘Spineless Judges’ who can hardly be expected to dispense justice independently according to law and their own sense of justice without regard to the wishes and desire of the government of the day. There is a great possibility that such a judge may remain ‘indebted to those responsible for his designation ...., the beneficiary is exposed to the human temptation to repay his debt by a pliable conduct of his office’137 especially when the executive itself is a litigant. As H. J. Laski aptly said, ‘It is not necessary to suggest that there will be conscious unfairness; but it is .... possible that such judges will, particularly in cases where the liberty of the subject is concerned’, find themselves unconsciously biased through over-appreciation of executive difficulty...’138 Therefore, ‘in appointing judges, a government owes a duty to the people ..

  • Class and Politics in Malaysian and Singaporean Nation Building
    CLASS AND POLITICS IN MALAYSIAN AND SINGAPOREAN NATION BUILDING Muhamad Nadzri Mohamed Noor, M.A. Political Science College of Business, Government and Law Flinders University Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2017 Page Left Deliberately Blank. Abstract This study endeavours to deliver an alternative account of the study of nation-building by examining the subject matter eclectically from diverse standpoints, predominantly that of class in Southeast Asia which is profoundly dominated by ‘cultural’ perspectives. Two states in the region, Malaysia and Singapore, have been selected to comprehend and appreciate the nature of nation-building in these territories. The nation-building processes in both of the countries have not only revolved around the national question pertaining to the dynamic relations between the states and the cultural contents of the racial or ethnic communities in Malaysia and Singapore; it is also surrounded, as this thesis contends, by the question of class - particularly the relations between the new capitalist states’ elites (the rulers) and their masses (the ruled). More distinctively this thesis perceives nation-building as a project by political elites for a variety of purposes, including elite entrenchment, class (re)production and regime perpetuation. The project has more to do with ‘class-(re)building’ and ‘subject- building’ rather than ‘nation-building’. Although this thesis does not eliminate the significance of culture in the nation-building process in both countries; it is explicated that cultures were and are heavily employed to suit the ruling class’s purpose. Hence, the cultural dimension shall be used eclectically with other perspectives.

  • Th ADVOCACY SKILLS SEMINAR
    10 CPD POINTS th ADVOCACY SKILLS8 - 9th April 2017 - Boulevard SEMINAR Hotel, Kuala Lumpur Advocacy is the art of persuasion. Most law schools teach this subject but only to a certain level due to limited time and lack of experienced teachers in this practical field. Thus, this subject is often left to individuals desiring to do “court work” to devise their own proficiency. But before you can develop your own skill, you must know some basic fundamental rules, guidelines and practises as well as the pitfalls and the narrow alleys to avoid. Many are left to learn these from their seniors but unless these seniors are themselves well honed in the craft, it is most likely a case of “the blind leading the blind” or the acquisition of a skill that is incomplete or unrefined. This seminar intends to enlighten participants to not only the basic skills of advocacy but also to the finer points and techniques often missed, overlooked and neglected or perhaps forgotten by trial lawyers. Speakers for this seminar comprises of current Judges, retired Judges and senior practising advocates. Some of those from the Bench had been active advocates before their elevation. By virtue of their experience, they have an added advantage of being able to identify common errors and mistakes committed by advocates appearing before them. They will be highlighting these and rendering suggestions and proposals to overcome them. This is one seminar that should not be missed by anyone who wishes to advance his or her advocacy skill. It is meant to enlighten you not only to the basic foundation of this craft but also share with you the various techniques that can be adopted into a winning style of your own.

    Government’s Powers During an Emergency Zaki Azmi* Abstract This write-up looks into the political situation that existed in Malaysia commencing with the 2018 General Election when Pakatan Harapan toppled the long-established Barisan Nasional and thereafter fall of Pakatan Harapan (PH) Government in 2020. Thereafter the Perikatan Nasional (PN) led by Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin took over the government. The PN Government was accused of being a back-door government. Immediately after PN took over the Government, the world, including Malaysia, faced the Covid-19 pandemic. At the same time, the PN Government, which included UMNO and PAS, had only a very small majority in Parliament. The issue of the Government invoking the Emergency powers under Article 150 of the Federal Constitution was extensively discussed amongst the politicians and writers. Article 150 became very relevant. A major part of this write-up (which is supported by legal authorities) involves the legality of the Government invoking Article 150 towards fighting the Covid-19 pandemic in Malaysia. Keywords: Article 150, Federal Constitution, Emergency Powers, Covid-19, Election Introduction Our Federal Constitution was drafted by the Reid Commission and enacted immediately prior to our independence in 1957 for the then Federation of Malaya. In 1963 it was extended to the Federation of Malaysia with appropriate additions and modifications. Our Constitution is the supreme law of the Federation, and any law which is inconsistent with it shall, to the extent of the inconsistency, be void.1 There are some exceptions to this rule of constitutional supremacy. One of them is * Tun Dato’ Seri Zaki Tun Azmi is a former Chief Justice of Malaysia and currently holds the Chief Justice of the Dubai International Financial Centre Courts.

  • The New Brooms by Malik Imtiaz Sarwar
    The new brooms By Malik Imtiaz Sarwar We have a new team heading the judiciary. Congratulations to Chief Justice Tan Sri Ariffin Zakaria, President of the Court of Appeal Tan Sri Md Raus Sharif and Chief Malik Imtiaz Sarwar Judge of Malaya Tan Sri Zulkefli Ahmad Makinudin. They are all men with many years of experience in the judicial and legal services. They are also men who, having started their careers as judges in the High Court, have had the opportunity to gain invaluable insights into not only the mechanics of being a judge, but also the workings of the High Court, the Court of Appeal and the Federal Court. I believe they are fully equipped to deal with the challenge of managing one of the most important institutions of the nation and wish them well in their endeavour. It is my hope that these three judges and their colleague, Chief Judge Sabah and Sarawak Tan Sri Richard Malanjum, see in this ''changing of the guard'' the opportunity that presents itself to make major inroads into restoring public confidence in the judiciary and seize it. For this to happen, however, they must acknowledge, even if only to themselves, that public confidence is not as high as it ought to be and as it was in the late 1980s, and that steps need be taken to address the situation. In some quarters, there are those who, admittedly somewhat cynically, suggest that although in the early days of the new appointments there will be some attempt to play to the gallery, such efforts will soon fade into obscurity.
