The Malaysian Bar, Sabah Law Society and Advocates’ Association of Sarawak condemn any act of politicians seeking for an intervention by the Prime Minister in an ongoing matter before the judiciary at all material points.
“It is pertinent to note that there have been instances in the past where politicians have been admonished, some even charged for such actions to interfere as these actions are considered an abuse of power and a misfeasance of public duties,” said Malaysian Bar President Karen Cheah Yee Lynn, Sabah Law Society President Roger Chin and Advocates Association of Sarawak President Antonio Sim in a joint statement
The Malaysian Bar, the Advocates Association of Sarawak, and the Sabah Law Society are appalled by the news reports expressing calls by political figures for interference by the Prime Minister in the judicial process; some have even gone as far as demanding for direct interference in the Federal Court decision concerning the case of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, and for a change of the current attorney general. It is deeply disturbing that such calls to interfere in the judicial process, or to replace the current attorney general, are made in blatant disregard of the principle of separation of powers and the entrenched constitutional democracy of Malaysia. Malaysia is a country that values the separation of powers between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches, as this provides checks and balances against one another.
