COMMENT | This fractured state does not care who walks for justice

"Alhamdulilah, I am thankful for the decision of the SC, which has found that I have not committed any offence.” 

- Azam Baki

COMMENT | It really doesn't matter if the Bar Council holds an EGM to discuss if there should be a walk for justice. It really does not matter if every single member of the Malaysian Bar decided to show up and march on Putrajaya.

It really doesn't matter if Harapan political operatives suddenly feel aggrieved by the attacks on the judiciary. It really does not matter if the online world is outraged by the MACC’s investigations “...  on Court of Appeal judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali (above) after a politically-linked blog posted an allegation claiming he had unexplained wealth”.

I am not being pessimistic or cynical here, but the sight of a couple of hundred lawyers or whoever shows up for this walk is not going to move whichever cabals are conspiring to bring down a sitting Court of Appeal judge.

I understand that this may be politically incorrect to write but the judiciary has, for decades, been mired in the political machinations of the executive and at one time or another, prominent opposition political operatives, former Bar Council presidents and activists have shone a spotlight on this inconvenient truth.
