If novel developments in law in Malaysia, sky will fall down

Listen to soft instrumental music for 15 to 20 mins before bed to calm the emotions and have a restful night . . .

This is not a landmark ruling.

There was no novel development of law for the court to declare a landmark ruling.

If there are novel developments in law in Malaysia, the sky will fall down.

We don’t have brilliant lawyers, jurists and constitutional experts. Our lawyers are weak in jurisprudence which they hate.

The court belabours in the delusion that the letter of the law makes up the sum total of the rule OF law.

If Musa Aman for example returns as Sabah Chief Minister, that would be a novel development in law.

The people are only interested in novel developments in law and/or dissenting judgments.

Chief Justice Richard Malanjum said in a farewell address that lawyers and the court often tell him, “see for yourself. Here, here, it’s written”.

The CJ pointed out that the greater emphasis in the rule of law is on the spirit of the law.

If Malanjum had to school lawyers and the court on the rule of law, what hope is there for us?

The letter of the law only is rule BY law, no law at all, it’s dictatorship.

The head of state should not only remain above the fray but be seen to remain above the fray.

The jury is not out on the proper Forum.

There’s no provision for no confidence or confidence Motions.

Gov’t business must be conducted first.

Other Motions must meet three criteria: specific; of public concern and public interest; and urgent.

If the lawyers can look for the law and point it out, the court will find the law and declare it.

There was probably no dissolution of the state assembly, Governor cannot act on his own.

There’s case law which states Malay is not race.

Mahathir, for example, is Malay by Identity, Indian by race.

In law, Sabah and Sarawak are not in Malaysia, Federal gov’t has been in non-compliance on the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63).

‘Moment of Truth’ has come for Sabah, Sarawak on Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63), Malaya kicks can further down the road.

The list is endless.

We should not be like the proverbial ostrich with its head buried in the sand or the three monkeys . . . see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil . . . or the three blind men describing an elephant after feeling it.

English language experts should be allowed to practise law, help strengthen rule of law.
