A tribute to Malaysia's judiciary
We, ordinary Malaysians, salute those amongst thee;
Exalted members of the country's judiciary;
For having the courage to reclaim your integrity;
In these uncertain times of national acrimony.
We, ordinary Malaysians, pay tribute to those amongst thee;
Who'd solemnly sworn to uphold the truth with honesty;
Who then proceed to listen and adjudicate impartially;
And deliver judgments you deem fair rather impeccably.
We, ordinary Malaysians, pay homage to those amongst thee;
For giving us back hope, for giving us back sanity;
Many of us had lost faith, a few had given up completely;
Assuming that when disputes arose they're unable to trust the referee.
We, ordinary Malaysians, support those amongst thee;
Who prefer to come out in the open and declare publicly;
That instances of cajoling had been undertaken inappropriately;
Rather than seek an audience with the executive individually.
We, ordinary Malaysians, pledge to all amongst thee;
That we are not averse to rulings against any party;
Be it the opposition, be it the ruling polity;
As long as the decision was arrived at rationally.
We, ordinary Malaysians, beseech those amongst thee;
Who may have succumbed to undue pressure previously;
To search your conscience, to seek the grace of the Almighty;
And practise with conviction the sworn oath you undertook initially!
