The appointment of the Chief Justice — Gurdial Singh Nijar | Malay Mail

APRIL 22 — A new controversy may be looming over the appointment of the Chief Justice to succeed the outgoing CJ Tan Sri Richard Malanjum who retired on April 12, 2019.

The PM clarified: “I always imagine that the King is the person who must approve all senior appointments, but somehow or rather, there is reference to the Conference of Rulers. Now, it is not just the king, but it also has to go to the rulers. I don’t know what it means. The decision made cannot be altered, unless there is a valid reason.”

There is provision for the King to consult the Conference of Rulers. But this, ruled the court, does not amount to seeking their consent. “So in the context of Article 122B of the Constitution, where the prime minister has advised that a person be appointed a judge and if the Conference of Rulers does not agree or withholds its views or delays the giving of its advice with or without reasons, legally the prime minister can insist that the appointment be proceeded with.”

Then last time why the PH ppl kept asking the Agong to do something with BN? Selective or what?

'It is timely for all to note that the King, in the context of our Federal Constitution, is merely a symbol of acts done as a constitutional monarch at the behest of the government'. That's all. Well said. Move on.
