The following is the full statement from former Lord President Salleh Abas which was emailed to malaysiakini today:
I must thank (defacto law minister) Nazri Aziz for agreeing to the review of the 1988 judicial crisis if "new and important" facts emerge.
In response to his comments, it seems to me that he has not agreed to the review because the decision of the two tribunals - the first tribunal which decided on me and the second tribunal which decided on my five other colleagues - were accepted by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and the government in 1988. Thus, he would agree to the review only "if there are new and important facts in the case".
