The following is an abstract of the press conference called by former Lord President Salleh Abas at the National Heart Institute.
Why are you calling this press conference?
On the 17th of this month, the newspapers asked me for comments on the proposal by the Bar Council chairperson (Yeo Yang Poh) to reopen (investigation into) the judicial crisis that took place in 1988.
At that time, I was absolutely not aware (of it) because I have not read the papers. I can tell you, I haven’t read the papers in a long time - it’s difficult to get papers there (Bukit Payung, Terengganu). I don’t read the Malay papers because I cannot read fast enough so I struggle. It’s not easy to get English papers. I only read them when I get to town.
