Our Judiciary Is a B.N Judiciary.

The whole episode displayed by our executive and the Judiciary is sickening to the core.It did not seem possible that the Judiciary would be blatant to disregard the constitution when they made the decision affecting the integrity of the Legislature. But on the 16th april , 2009, they did just that. They lifted the suspension imposed by the Perak Speaker on the Menteri Besar and the six excos.All this despite the fact the article 72 of the Federal Constitution disallowed the Legislature Proceedings to be subjected to any Judicial review. If the apex court can make judicial review on the proceedings of the Legislature then what does the Doctrine of separation means in the context of our Parliamentary democracy?If this is how it works then we might as well appoint federal court Judges to sit in the legislature and review all its proceedings.

It appears quite evident now why an UMNO stalwhat who was also a legal advisor to the party was parachuted to be the head of the apex court. It seems quite convenient that the two branches of govt, the executive and the Judiaicary has worked hand in glove to ensure that the illegitimate Govt of Zambry has a clear path to be installed as the legitimate govt before the May 13th deadline when it is mandatory for it to hold the next Legislative assembly meeting or face dissolution of the assembly.

With unseen hands interfering in the decision of the apex court to ensure that a illegitimate Govt is installed in Perak and thus frustrate a govt elected by the people, the whole sordid episode has brought our Judiciary to public ridicule.Its action has only seves to confirm the suspicions that it is not acting independently as a separate branch of the govt but is acting subserviently to the Executive.It also lends further credence to the suspicion that the Judiciary is a B.N judiciary
