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 ..

Schejter Associate Professor of Mass Communications Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Richard D. Taylor Professor of Mass Communications Jorge R. Schement Distinguished Professor of Mass Communications John Christman Associate Professor of Philosophy, Political Science, and Women’s Studies John S. 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 Volume 26, Issue 5 2002 Article 1 Unjust Order: Malaysia’s Internal Security Act Nicole Fritz∗ Martin Flahertyy ∗ y Copyright c 2002 by the authors. 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.

  • Minimum Wage Soon Page 1 of 1
    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.
