Govt not serious about judicial reforms

How does the Barisan National Govt which suffered a titanic defeat in the recent concluded 12thGen. Election seek to initiate Judicial reforms when it cannot even bring a proper closure to the 1988 judicial crisis over the sacking of Tun Salleh Abas as Lord President and Datuk George Seah and the late Tan sri wan Sulaiman Pawanteh as Supreme court Judges.?
If Prime Minister Abdullah refusal to apologise remain steadfast then it is unlikely there will be any significant judicial reforms.Abdullah's stand is indeed perplexing.
The Judicial crisis of 1988 happened duringMahathir's tenure and he was the prime mover for the formation of the tribunal to dismiss the Lord president.If Abdullah had agreed to the apology he would have shown his genuine resolve to reform the judiciary.The fall guy would be Mahathir and he would have everything to gain and little to lose.But to refuse the apology would merely cast a serious aspersion on his statement that he would aggressively pursue reforms.Once again this unusual decision by Abdullah has brought serious doubts as to his leadership qualities.
