We need to keep on our resolute strength and mind in mobilising fair, responsible and mature readers and people-at-large to ask the Bar Council to organise a large-scale signature campaign with the help of NGOs and political parties to be submitted to the Yang DiPertuan Agong urging His Highness to look into re-opening the case involving the sacking of several judges in 1988.
Those were the darkest hours in the journals of Malaysian history. The Bar Council president has started the ball rolling with his comments and it is the duty of the Bar Council as the leading fraternity for law to get the job done.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Nazri Abdul Aziz has made remarks on this issue directly against the wishes of the silent majority who want proper justice to be handed out to the affected ones and to have their self-respect and dignity restored.
Their names should be cleared and it is not about money or reinstatement of positions. The minister concerned has no value or respect even among his peers in his own political party and will be a liability for the BN in the coming elections. What goes around must come around.
So we appeal to the Bar Council to take the lead in launching this signature campaign and I'm sure people from all walks of life would support the noble effort.
