Lingam buys judges, Bar Council gets fined. O_O
We’ve done it again.
Politicians stir up hate, reporters get arrested.
Cop punch a detainee, detainee gets convicted.
And now? Lawyer fixes judges, Bar Council gets fined for investigating lawyer:
The Bar Council must pay RM70,000 in costs to lawyer VK Lingam in connection with the decision to set up a tribunal to investigate a complaint against him over an alleged vacation to New Zealand with former chief justice Mohd Eusoff Chin in 1994.
The quantum was awarded to Lingam, following the Federal Court’s refusal of the Bar Council’s appeal over the Advocates & Solicitors’ Disciplinary Board’s decision to set up a tribunal after Lingam failed to reply to the Bar’s complaint over the New Zealand holiday trip.
Wah, is Malaysia trying to win some sorta prize for unbelievability? FML.
If this is not a sign of a Pariah State, I don’t know what is…..It’s even worse than the judiciary of Zimbabwe and Pakistan,sigh!
Anything which is “Buatan Malaysia” will be niche and special … cannot be found in any other part of the world!! What a ‘good’ testimony of Selective Governance in Malaysia!! SH*T!

Yes, each time improving on the last – Performance Now! KPI Minister watching to make sure they come up with something new and refreshing to entertain us!
If could have been very funny if it is not so tragic.
Adding insult to injury.
I think it’s time Malaysia should copyright it’s judiciary. I see money in it. Countries like Burma, Zimbabwe, North Korea might want to copy our system. Our judges today would have been known as “hired guns” in the old west.
The situation is so hopeless and unbelievable that we now even have a monument of shame for our judges: http://MalaysianJudges.com/
Two years ago the Lingam tape scandal, this is what we got into!!! I rest my case. What has the new chief justice Zaki brought to us? A more efficient judiciary at furthering BN’s grip on power and corruption?
Holy Shit. it X’mas time round the corner. Now VK has some xtra change to buy presents for his Croonies
If we survive the 2012 apocalypse, let’s send a resounding message to the power that be.
