I guess it’s been 20 days plus since I last updated my blog. A lot of things happen in these 20 days. Among the bombastic one, it will definitely be the beginning of the “trial” by the royal commission on VK Lingam case. Several big shot were summoned to testify on the court. I guess one of the famous phrases that evolve from the case will be: “It looks like me, it sounds like me… but I don’t know whether it is me?” by VK Lingam and not forgetting our most honourable former prime minister Tun’s statement: “Saya tak ingat.”
Rally IS NOT OUR CULTURE according to our beloved PM. But has he long forgotten that once upon a time, how Malayan goes against the British colonist proposed Malayan Union? I wonder if there is no “walk on justice” by the lawyers, will the government even set up the royal commission. The statement "Lawyers don't walk everyday. Not even every month. But when they walk, then something must be very wrong," made by the Bar Council chairman Ambiga Sreenevasan during the Walk of Justice shall be seriously thought by every Malaysian. What went wrong with our country?
Just out of my own curiosity, what can the royal commission do if they do find out that in the process of appointing the chief judge, Tan Sri Vincent Tan, Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansur, VK Lingam and etc. etc. do interfere by sending in suggestions, memorandum, and so on? I understand that it’s very serious if the appointment of chief of justice is bias but isn’t at the very beginning the system itself is already bias? The separation of power between executive, judiciary and legislative has long gone in Malaysia. It has been Malaysian custom for a single site having the absolute advantage in the parliament house. Thus, with such majority win, the ruler of the country is no longer the symbolic royal family but the leader of the winning alliances. The constitution can be amended easily, his royal highness can’t help but to agree with all sort of propose enactment by the parliament. So who is the real monarch in the country? And people, please don’t complain when petrol price goes up, when toll price rise, when you and I have to suffer from the high inflation rate with your salary still stay at the same. This is because you’ve voted and this is what you wanted? Or Malaysian simply tak ingat what went wrong with our country?
