Lingam tape: There must be restitution

I refer to the Malaysiakini report Correct, correct, correct, it's Fairuz .

The prime minister now has to ‘walk the talk’ to restore the already battered judiciary. It is proven that the judiciary is riddled with corruption following evidence exposed before the Lingam Tape royal commission.

The first thing that the government should do and can do is to suspend immediately all the judges that were named during the royal commission inquiry.

The next step is to form an independent investigation body to look into the possible charges that can be brought against these people.. The Bar Council must play a part here to help form this independent body.

Let’s be very objective here. After hearing the involvement of the Anti-Corruption Agency and the massive cover-up attempted over this whole affair, do you really think we have faith in the investigations abilities of the ACA or the Attorney-General’s Chambers?

Do not forget, there were police reports on the VK Lingam saga before and we have heard enough of the blatant incompetence of the authorities’ investigations.

Do you think that the present Attorney-General should be given the discretion to prosecute or not? Honestly, I have no faith in that present office that was appointed during the tenure of the former prime minister.

Apart from hunting down corrupt judges, politicians and businessmen, we must put right what has been done unjustly and wrong. Real people have suffered under these corrupt judges and justice demands that the misdeeds must be corrected.

Are we just going to turn a blind eye to the wrong doing in the Ayer Molek case and just tell them ‘too bad’? Are we going to tell Wee Choo Keong ‘tough luck, buddy’? Are we just going to tell MGG Pillai’s estate ‘better luck next time’?

We have heard enough of the favours former chief justice Ahmad Fairuz did for the previous government under the former PM.

As for VK Lingam, please do not forget that this man. What we saw are the cases that he handled personally. The evidence of Loh Mui Fah and Loh Gwo Burn says it all.

I hope Abdullah Ahmad Badawi is serious and will not let this be yet another one of his half-hearted attempts to correct what is and has been manifestly wrong.
