Government to release VK Lingam commission report
I had predicted that the present BN Government will not release the Royal Commission report on VK Lingam video scandal to the public and also will have no political will to pursue and prosecute those allegedly involved in the shameful judiciary scandal.
I had been proven wrong on the former but yet to be proven wrong on the latter. The Government had agreed to make the report public…
The four-volume report will be sold at RM542.10 and be available next week from the government printers.
While volume one - which is the report itself - has only 191 pages, volume two containing the notes of evidence is 1,187 pages long, while volume three contains all the statutory declarations submitted to the commission (513 pages) and the final volume contains the exhibits (998 pages).

Now we will have to wait if Pak Lah and Zaid Ibrahim have the guts to push for full investigation as recommended by the Royal Commission.
The Royal Commission of Inquiry into the VK Lingam video clip has recommended that former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad be investigated under various laws for his role in the appointment of judges.
Other luminaries to face investigation are former chief justices Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim and Eusoff Chin, senior lawyer VK Lingam, former minister Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor and business tycoon Vincent Tan.

If Pak Lah wants some clue and help, here is one. Firstly, he should suspend Tengku Adnan Mansor from all government positions until he is cleared of all allegations related to this scandal. This is important to portray to the public that Pak Lah’s government is made of politicians of high moral standing.
But then, if high moral standing is ever in Pak Lah’s mind, he wouldn’t have included Muhammad Muhd Taib in his cabinet in the first place… if you know what I mean. So I am still skeptical if I will be proven wrong yet again in relation to Pak Lah’s political will to institute total judicial reform.

That price seems a bit expensive…
CJCM: It should have been posted on the internet so that Malaysians can just read it for free.
