KUALA LUMPUR, April 25 — Dissatisfaction over former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s conviction over the misappropriation of RM42 million from government-owned SRC International Sdn Bhd should be dealt with directly through appealing in the courts, and not through “backhanded” moves to attack the trial judge, the Malaysian United Democratic Alliance said today.
“The law provides for the authorities to dismiss frivolous complaints at the outset so as not to waste precious time and manpower. “Such an attack would erode public trust in our judiciary, especially when it concerns the SRC and 1MDB trial which are closely watched all across the globe. “Muda stands with all judges who carry out their duties independently, with integrity and without fear or favour,” Lim concluded.
DAP’s Bagan MP Lim Guan Eng had said Raja Petra’s allegations have “consistently been proven to be false and baseless” and that the blogger who was allegedly “hiding” in London should be asked to return to Malaysia to face investigations over his allegations on Nazlan.
As a layma, just want to ask a simple question: if an accusation of wrongdoing has been made against a judge, shouldn't investigation be done to find the truth, to prove his innocence or otherwise? Shouldn't a judge, like all citizens, be held accountable for any wrongs too?
