Soon after YAB The Prime Minister issued the letters of appointment to all the Commissioners on 9 February 2009, the first commission meeting was held on 26 February 2009. The Commission meets every month. Other than the selection and appointment of judges, the meetings also discuss, among others, subjects as the disposal of cases and improving the performance of superior court judges. In order to enable and implement the Act based on the Commission’s recommendations, YAB The Prime Minister passed the Judicial Appointments Commission (Selection Process And Method of Appointment of Judges of the Superior Courts) Regulations 2009 which was gazetted and came into force on 1 June 2009. The members of the Commission have been diligent in fulfilling their duties and functions as determined by the Act. Four (4) selection meetings have been carried out in 2009. The selection by each member of the Commission is independent of the other as all selections are done via secret ballot. By convention, albeit not required by law, the list of candidates for the position of Judicial Commissioner is also submitted to the Commission for its comments. I thank all the officers and staff from the Office of the Secretary of the Judicial Appointments Commission, who have carried out their tasks and responsibilities in assisting the Commission in all its related affairs. TUN DATO’ SERI ZAKI TUN AZMI JAC Annual Report 2009 2 JD132468 LAP BI.indd 2 2/19/10 6:20:04 PM History Of The JUDICIAL APPOINTMENTS COMMISSION 3 JAC Annual Report 2009 JD132468 LAP BI.indd 3 2/19/10 6:20:25 PM Introduction The Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC) was established with the coming into effect of the Judicial Appointments Commission Act 2009 (Act 695) on 2 February 2009. This Commission was established by an Act of Parliament and therefore not by any amendment to the Federal Constitution. The appointment process as provided for under Act 695 precedes the appointment process under Article 122B of the Federal Constitution. The reason for the establishment of the JAC is to ensure the process of candidature, appointment and promotion to the superior courts is transparent and involves taking a more active as well as comprehensive approach. The term ‘Superior Court Judge’ includes the Chief Justice, The President of the Court of Appeal, Chief Judge of Malaya, Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak and High Court Judges. The JAC aims to bring the Judiciary a step further in reinventing itself, strengthening its foundations and integrity. It will also fulfill the aspirations of the people for transparency and fairness in the judicial system of this country. JAC Annual Report 2009 4 JD132468 LAP BI.indd 4 2/19/10 6:20:35 PM History Many parties have pressed for measures to be taken in creating more transparency in the appointment of judges, to return the confidence of the people as well as investors in the judiciary. This became necessary in light of the Dato’ V.K. Lingam video clip recording which demonstrated quite clearly the extent to which the judiciary is vulnerable to external manipulation and interference by influential parties who have vested interest in the appointment of judges. Subsequently, a Commission of Inquiry was convened on 12 December 2007 to look into the alleged interference and it had recommended, among its many findings, the establishment of a Judicial Appointments Commission. Pursuant to Article 122B of the Federal Constitution, Judges of the Federal Court, Court of Appeal and High Court are appointed by the Yang di- Pertuan Agong, acting on advice of the Prime Minister, after consulting the Council of Rulers. Before tendering his advice on the appointment, the Prime Minster shall consult the Chief Justice. Based on the current practice it is difficult for those involved in the appointment of judges to determine whether the relevant provision in the Federal Constitution is adhered to or not. All parties including the opposition, the public, non-governmental organizations (NGO) and the Bar Council agreed with the Government’s decision to set up the JAC. The Bill of the JAC Act 2009 (Act 695) was read for the first time in the Dewan Rakyat (House of Representatives) on 10 December 2008 and passed on 17 December 2008 after its third reading. Subsequently the Bill was brought before the Dewan Negara (The Senate) on 22 December 2008, read for the third time and passed on 23 December 2008. 5 JAC Annual Report 2009 JD132468 LAP BI.indd 5 2/19/10 6:20:42 PM Appointment of Commissioners The Judicial Appointments Commission comprises nine (9) members. Four (4) members are appointed by tenure, namely, the Chief Justice, the President of the Court of Appeal, the Chief Judge of Malaya and the Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak. Meanwhile a Federal Court Judge and four (4) others who are eminent persons and not members of the executive or other public service are appointed by the Prime Minister. On 9 February 2009, the former Prime Minister YABbhg. Tun Haji Abdullah bin Haji Ahmad Badawi announced the appointment of nine (9) commissioners with YAA Tun Dato’ Seri Zaki Tun Azmi, Chief Justice, as the Chairman of the Commission.

As is required by the Judicial Appointments Act 2009 (Act 695), JAC has continued its effort to become a body that is truly transparent in the performance of its primary duties in the selection, appointment and promotion of judges. In an effort to strengthen its role and function, the JAC had recommended to the Government to amend section 3 of the Judicial Appointments Commission Act 2009 (Act 695) to include the appointment of a Judicial Commissioner as part of its functions. This was done by inserting the term Judicial Commissioner in the definition of a Superior Court Judge. This amendment is consistent with the requirements of subsection 1(3) of the Act which is clearly the intention of the Government when drafting this Act so that it applies also to the appointment of a Judicial Commissioner.

  • 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 ..

Nichols Professor of Mass Communications Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This study examines how socio-political blogs contribute to the development of democracy in Malaysia. It suggests that blogs perform three main functions, which help make a democracy more meaningful: blogs as fifth estate, blogs as networks, and blogs as platform for expression. First, blogs function as the fifth estate performing checks-and-balances over the government. This function is expressed by blogs’ role in the dissemination of information, providing alternative perspectives that challenge the dominant frame, and setting of news agenda. The second function of blogs is that they perform as networks. This is linked to the social-networking aspect of the blogosphere both online and offline. Blogs also have the potential to act as mobilizing agents. The mobilizing capability of blogs facilitated the mass street protests, which took place in late- 2007 and early-2008 in Malaysia.

On the respondent's appeal to the judge in chambers, the learned judge set aside the RO and AO. The order of the learned judge was confirmed on appeal to the Court of Appeal. In this instance, the appellant was granted leave to appeal on the following issues: (1) whether the words " where in the opinion of the court a debtor ought not to have been adjudged bankrupt " in s. 105(1) of the Bankruptcy Act 1967 ('the Act') covered only technical grounds; (2) whether the debtor's " ability to pay his debt " was a legal ground that fell within the said provision; (3) whether the respondent's non-appearance at the hearing of the CP disqualified him from making the setting aside application; and (4) whether the learned judge was correct on the facts in finding that the respondent was solvent and able to pay his debt.

Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj Unjust Order: Malaysia’s Internal Security Act Nicole Fritz and Martin Flaherty Abstract This Report represents the culmination of a year-long project undertaken by the Crowley Pro- gram to update the study of the use and impact of the Internal Security Act (ISA) in Malaysia in light of international law obligations. We reference first those international commitments that Malaysia has expressly adopted. However, these are very few–reflecting the antipathy felt by the Malaysian government for international obligations of this sort. Additionally, we have made ref- erence to the generally-accepted international law provisions applicable in this context–intended both to demonstrate the extent to which the ISA deviates from widely-upheld international norms, even if those norms are not ones expressly accepted by Malaysia. We have also referenced the extent to which other States, contemplating reviving or enacting similar laws, will fall afoul of their more readily undertaken international obligations in doing so.

    The Star Online: Minimum wage soon Page 1 of 1 The Star Online > Nation Thursday September 29, 2011 Minimum wage soon By A. LETCHUMANAN [email protected] PUTRAJAYA: The Government hopes to announce the minimum wage for workers before year-end, Human Resources Minister Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam said here. He said the newly set-up National Wages Consultative Council (NWCC) was entrusted to come out with recommendations on a minimum wage within two and a half months. Speaking to reporters after presenting appointment letters to 25 members of the independent NWCC, he said a technical committee had already undertaken an exhaustive study on wages in the country. “The NWCC has all the information. There is no need for them to start afresh. “They must make decisions based on the information given to them from today,” he said, adding that a figure for the minimum wage had also been arrived at. Dr Subramaniam said it was up to the council to look at the figure from their perspective and make the decision. The NWCC Bill, which was gazetted on Sept 15 and came into effect on Sept 23, empowers the council to decide on a minimum wage and also undertake studies. Former Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Tan Sri Steve Shim Lip Kiong is the NWCC chairman and former Human Resources Ministry secretary -general Datuk Dr Syed Mohamad Syed Abdul Kadir his deputy. The council will have six members each representing workers and employers, five from other sectors and five from the Government. It will be assisted by a secretary.
