Malaysia Boleh: Independent Panel that is so dependent
I blogged about the two sides of Malaysia Boleh and this example shows how a Malaysia Boleh feat could make Malaysia a laughing stock instead of a respected nation.
Read excerpts from Malaysiakini below and see how hopeless this Independent Panel is, reminiscent of the hopeless state of Malaysia’s judiciary itself. May Allah save us all.
The three-member panel probing the authenticity of the ‘VK Lingam’ video admitted that it is powerless, including in compelling witnesses to come forward or to extend protection for them.
“We have no power,” was the blunt remark from panel head Haidar Mohd Noor.
Earlier, Haidar urged those with personal knowledge regarding the video clip or could help in ascertaining its authenticity to come forward.
The third panel member, National Service Training Council chairperson Lee Lam Thye, was also present but refrained from making any comments.
Meanwhile, Haidar also said that it does not plan to call senior lawyer VK Lingam to appear before the panel because it is “not our role” to do so.
“If he wants to come… I don’t know,” he said.
At this juncture, Mahadev interjected: “By the way, do you (journalist) know where he (Lingam) is? Have you got a hotline to (contact) him by any chance? Maybe you can help us.”
