“No reason why judiciary should be subject of ridicule to save Najib”

MEMBERS of the Malaysian Bar might not be cheerleaders of the judiciary or the executive but they might come to the assistance if there are indications that the judiciary might be in danger.

Representing lawyers in the country, the Malaysian Bar wants the judiciary to function in the best possible manner without fear or favour.

The judiciary is looked upon as an institution of checks and balances especially when there is a need to balance the executive and the legislative.

There have been times that the Malaysian Bar had shown its displeasure towards both to the executive as well judiciary on some matters.

But the same time, the Malaysian Bar is like hawk flying high to monitor and articulate the concerns of the judiciary or any other democratic institutions that might be abused.

It is the duty of the Malaysian Bar to defend the judiciary when there are overt and covert attempts to subdue or compromise its role.

What the Malaysian Bar president Karen Cheah said about the abuse of the judiciary by the lawyers representing the former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak was nothing out of the ordinary.
