Azmi Sharom?

UPDATED VERSION. I read Azmi Sharom's letter to Malaysiakini yesterday.

Is he the same Dr Azmi Sharom, the young associate professor of the Law Faculty of Universiti Malaya? I remember Prof Azmi wrote an open letter to the Minister in charge of Higher Education in The Star, March 11, 2006. I also remember he was censured for a piece he wrote about student elections

Also, could Jeffrey be John Wise?

UPDATES: Prof Azmi confirmed with me that it was his letter in Malaysiakini. By exposing his real name, he must be classified as a responsible blogger online reader.

This Jeffrey sounded like like a commenter in Uncle Kit's blog under the "RealWorld" nick. Same person?

Jeffrey also use the same nick in Kit's blog i think.

No, i do not think so. It is not a piece of someone who knows law. Defamatory action can be pursued by anyone, irrespective of whether the party is an ordinary person or a corporation. The merit is purely on law and not on anything.

That open letter is very constructive.

Where are the response from the government?

and jeff, hope this short catches thee well.

I'm ignoramus wrt "Also, could Jeffrey be John Wise?" -- who IS this John Wise, can spare a li'l time to tell, to wise me up a byte?

JEFF OOI says: We will do it at the right time. The wise guy is in KL as a fugitive. Let's not scare the rabbit.

INTERNET does not operate in a legal vacuum.
