Judicial Decision under Attack.

Zaid Ibrahim has failed in his bid in the High Court to challenge the Hulu Selangor by-election results.

NOTE:

In 1999, Judge Azahar Mohamed, then a prosecutor, was accused of fabricating false evidence against Anwar Ibrahim together with Gani Patail during the 1999 corruption trial in the Zainur Zakaria vs Public Prosecutor case.

The Federal Court subsequently stated that there was a prima facie case justifying the application to disqualify these two prosecutors, noting that both had not denied the accusation at the material time. This statement has not been contradicted or challenged to date.

Malaysiakini reported :

Election judge justice Azahar Mohamed has ruled that the election petition was defective as it had not stated clearly the alleged bribery acts. Azahar then declared Kamalanathan was duly elected as Hulu Selangor MP. The High Court had allowed a striking-out application by the victorious candidate, P Kamalanathan.

Zaid had filed the petition on May 24 to invalidate the April 25 poll results on grounds that there were attempts to induce voters by BN chief Najib Abdul Razak.

He alleged that Kamalanathan knew of the inducements made by Najib. The focal point of the case was Najib's promise of RM3 million to SRJK (C) Rasa School and the presentation of cheques to the Felda settlers.

Kamalanathan applied to strike out the petition on the grounds that it was trivial and an abuse of the court process.

One of P Kamalanathan's lawyer, Mohd Hafarizam Harun said the decision showed what had been offered, such as for the Chinese school and the RM160,000 to the Felda settlers, were not bribes but was meant for the development of the constituency.

Lawyer Azhar Azizan Harun representing Zaid said he was disappointed with the decision as they had the names of those who received the bribes, and would have brought the matter up in a full trial.

What MALAYSIANS Are Saying About the HIGH COURT'S Decision

• You don't need Paul the Octopus to predict this one. The blind could also see the outcome. Court decision expected.
  
  
• The judge for this case - Azahar Mohamed - was Abdul Gani Patail's classmate in the Law Faculty at the Universiti Malaya.
  
  
• Without any doubt, decision expected. Justice Azahar is afraid he might be punished like other judges who have given just judgments. I feel sorry for the judiciary under Umno man Zaki Azmi.

• Bloody judges. We have no respect for you.

• Is Mohd Hafarizam Harun still in that law firm where Azmi Zaki (the chief justice) was from? That Umno law firm does the bulk of Umno election cases. So Umno judges and Umno lawyers know how to work the courts in that respect. The judiciary needs a real shake-up
  
  
• It seems we have a solid pattern well established.
  
  
• And we have yet again witnessed another example of UMNO justice being dished out or should i say injustice.
  
  
• What else can the kangaroo court run by UMNO judges do?
  
  
• UMNO court just deliver the judgement which UMNO already decided.
  
  
• A lapdog judge delivering his biased judgement from his kangaroo court. Nothing surprising with the verdict.
  
  
• Even before the court ruling, all of us expected this decision because this decision was made way before the court proceeding. So this is nothing new in BolehLand. In future, if there is any court proceedings against UMNO, do us all a favor..., just accept the pre-verdict of the UMNO Kangaroo court.
  
  
• Most Malaysians knew from the very outset that the court decision would be a foregone conclusion. I wonder why Zaid bothered to litigate at all. Still, there is a lesson learnt, which is don't waste time and money.
  
  
• Looks like Yang Arif just legalised "I help you and you help me."

• If even Zaid cannot see to the justice he deserves, I am afraid there's not much hope left for the rest of the Malaysian rakyat...

• Zaid, don't despair. I am sure you knew what the outcome would be the very day you decided to bring the case to court. Let them win the battle, but we shall win the war.
  
  
• In the Umno kangaroo court, P Kamalanathan or Umno won but in the court of the rakyat, Kamalanathan or Umno have lost their suit.
  
  
• If the rakyat want any future fair trials, vote wisely in the coming soon 13th general election
  
  
• Another proof of 'Malaysian Court of UMNOputras'.
  
  
• All the more reason for a two-party political system in Malaysia. And the sooner Najib Abdul Razak calls for elections, the better.
  
  
• Put the judgment online. Some election judges shirk their duty to write a judgment in election cases because they really do not have cogent reasons for dismissing the petition on technicalities.
  
  
• We have to keep trying time and again until we win. In the face of compelling evidence, the judge finds otherwise. But one day, they will crumble and yield. We will restore justice in due time. Till then, keep up the resistance.
  
  
• EXPECTED VERDICT...NOTHING TO BE SURPRISED..YOU ARE BOLEH LAND ... SEMUA BOLEH DI ATUR...
  
  
• All monkey judges in the UMNO established Kangaroo Courts were drunk with corruptions...the only thing they see was UMNO rear!....very obedient assholes.
  
  
• The "Monkey Judge" did a rehearsed act in his Kangaroo Court!...how to screw an opposition to UMNO. These sort of below par judges are better placed as jaga kampung toilets...
  
  
• What do you expect from our Judiciary.."Bulan puasa and soon Raya...need some money for anak /isteri punya baju/kasut.Wasalaam.
  
  
• Malaysia’s judicial has rotted beyond redemption since 1988 when that Mamakthir reduced bolehland judges into nothing but rubber stamp of umNO-nazi party. When the last place where a person can seek JUSTICE is sodomized by umNO-nazi party, what is there to talk about. This bolehland has long ago been renamed Zimbawasia.
  
  
• And they crack their head thinking why people are leaving this country, why foreign investors are pulling away their investments and new investors are staying away......So long as the judiciary and those who are entrusted to uphold the law is corrupted, no one will feel safe living or investing in one's country..
