Loyalty paid for Justice Ahmad Fairuz, CJ

If you wanted proof that the Malaysian judiciary is in the pits, look no further than this video expose in which a senior lawyer is talking to CJ Ahmad Fairuz on who should be appointed to the courts for the "sake of the country".

The video, taken unknowingly in 2002 in the lawyer’s private space, gives an indication how the powerful has been controlling the judiciary.

As for Ahmad Fairuz, this clip merely stamps the fact that he is a lame duck chief justice.

Here is an excerpt of what the lawyer - VK Lingam - told Ahmad Fairuz:

"No don’t worry, Datuk, I know how much you suffer for Tun Eusoff Chin. And Tun said Datuk Ahmad Fairuz 110% loyalty. We want to make sure our friends are there for the sake of the PM and the sake of the country."
