Hello Jeff,

Do we need to be a Malaysiakini subscriber to view the video in your posting?

Nothing happened when trying to click on the video link.

Thank you.

JEFF OOI says: By right, you should be able to watch the videos one you click it on Screenshots. No registration is required. It works from my end.

see now that depends... does "independant judiciary" mean that everyone is equal in the eyes of the law? does it mean that if your break the law, you will be dealt with equally, regardless what your standing in society is? if the answers to those questions are both resounding yes-es, we might have a problem here.

what say you, mr. minister?

Nazri will surely said that as he is in the Govt with the "guilty" parties. He is in a denial mode, in fact, he is denying all the rights , trying to justify all the wrongs. Wait till one day, he is out of the govt and his son or family is charged and found guilty eventhough he think that they maybe innocent AND the Govt is not Umno then. I think his balls will shrink !

That was a damned good response!

Too fast Nazri and co. labelled the call for an independent probe as the working of the opposition. Goes to show it was a defensive reaction that short-circuited the nerve joining the tongue to the brain.

So what if it came from Anwar? So what if it goes to Mahathir? So what if it taints the administration of Badawi? The rakyat want the truth and nothing but the truth. The whole world is watching this.

And why is it important? Today you may have a government-business-judiciary arrangement. Tomorrow the presiding judge may just put a empty bag next to his gavel and say 'fill'. In fact, that has happened in Kalimantan, if a coal freighter's story is retold.

Even the factions within Umno will be affected by it, depending on which judge has been favored in the next round.

You know what happens when someone uses means to justify ends - like a drug, the power-hold increases its crushing coil to find the next threshold; bad becomes worse, and worse becomes sin.

It is a sin to say it's in the interest of the country to think those who ask for an independent probe are mischief-makers just because what one finds it disagreeable about what they propose. What is so disagreeable that it mandates a directive to dilute the matter in the media when that matter is the very soul of what this nation must stand by?

Don't choke on that eleven ringgit murtabak when trying to respond to this.

It is also rather odd to allow FRU trucks to enter but stop buses ferrying the lawyers. What's the beef? Hope they will change their minds as they walk in the March of September?

And yes, it is mightily odd to deny a commission of inquiry, and hastily insert a blur-sotong three-man panel who is only allowed to get findings from the police and government agencies. If that be the case, what's the difference from being a three-hole postbox? Would the panel be anytime soon empowered to investigate whether the findings of the police and government agencies which report to the JPM are independent findings in the first place? And what salutary reason can be advanced for not allowing the panel to interview those implicated? Fear they will sing like canaries to reveal what this govt wants to hide forever?

A simple request for independent probe over visual evidence purportedly showing malfeasant influence in the appointment of top judiciary has been turned by this govt into a circus-show.

Reminds one of the sinister The Eye of the Ring.

They're hiding something. They've been hiding a lot. It's panic now. It's open season for dirty tactics.

The truth must out. That's all that the rakyat and the real Judiciary want.

to twotablet,

the video doesn't work in Firefox, you should try viewing it with IE.

why is the CJ talking thru Nazri and why is Nazri claiming to be CJ's minister.

who does the CJ report to? agong? if so, is Nazri insulting our Agong and stepping beyond his power? Our Agong should fire Nazri and CJ if they don't know who is the boss. Daulat Tuanku.

If Nazri thinks he is the boss, than our judiciary is surely not independent.

Thanks Jeff for sharing the video. I am totally agree with Amer Hamzah's opinion. We need to know the truth, nothing else but the truth.

p/s: I am able to view it in FireFox :)
