The Prime Minister has announced that judges would be chosen by a Commission specially set up for this purpose.
2. No details have been made public as to the way the Commission would work.
3. Would the Commission actually appoint the judges or would it only recommend the names for the PM to approve or would the Commission recommend directly to the Agong for him to exercise his prerogative? Or
would the Agong require the approval of the Rulers Conference? Or would the Conference of Rulers be merely consulted as is done now? Or would they be able to reject the candidate, and ask for new candidates or name new candidates of their choice?
4. It would be interesting to know the full details of the procedures, above all with regard to the role of the PM.
5. The appointment of judges is provided for in the Constitution. If changes are to be made in any way, they must be considered as in breach of the Constitution.
6. To make the changes legal, the Constitution has to be changed.
7. As everyone knows changes in the Constitution can only be made if two-thirds of the members of Parliament in session agreed with the proposed changes.
8. The Government does not have the necessary two-thirds majority. By itself it will not be able to change the manner with which the judges are chosen. It can only do so if the opposition supports it by at least nine votes.
9. Is the Government proposing to work with the opposition on this issue, and so display its
weakness? Will there be a quid pro quo, a bargain with the opposition? It would be interesting to see how the PM proposes to deal with this.

Salam Tun,
Congratulation on the creation of your own Blog.
I am of the opinion that the proposed changes is not comprehensive. The implication of it is not considered thoroughly. Aspects of interference and conflict of interest may surface and create bigger issues.
What should be done in my humble opinion is that the ‘process’ and ‘criteria’ in appointing the judges should be carried out rigorously and objectively by the PM himself who should seek advise (opinion) from various parties in the government. Thank you and take care.

Dr. Mahathir
What is wrong with working with opposition if that means we bring justice to this nation? In which way, it shows the Government’s weakness. Everyone knows about the Government’s weakness. Even a kindergarden student can count that ruling party has so much numbers and opposition has so much.
On the contrary, please admit that you were the main cause of destroying the judiciary. Because of you, now I am afraid to go to court even to claim back something that legally belongs to me because the opponent of me knows the right people at the judiciary.

Your analysis on the PM’s plans with the appointment of judges is timely and important. Pak Lah is not very smart at all and like always, has again shot his mouth without thinking.
Pak Che Det, how about commenting or giving your suggestions on how to make the Judiciary a truly independent arm, free from the grips of the Executive branch.

Truly Malaysian said…
If the BN needs to cooperate with PR to push through constitutional amendments, that is certainly a sign that democracy is alive and well in this country of ours. It would also be within the intention of the founding fathers of our constitution, as they set the high hurdle of a 2/3 majority for changes to the fundamental constitution of our country in order to ensure that the government of the day could not abuse its majority in parliament. We, the citizens of Malaysia, have neglected the importance of this hurdle in the past to our detriment. Now we have redeemed ourselves.
It may be a sign of the weakness of BN, but it is a sign of the growing strength of democracy in our country.

Dear MM
Working with the opposition does not mean showing ruling party’s weakness. On the contrary, it demonstrates the maturity of the ruling party. To work with all elected representative of the rakyat irrespective of the political persuasions for the benefit of the rakyat and the nation is more important than party politics.
I am very disappointed that you being an elder stateman of the nation still think along party line rather than putting the interest of all Malaysians first.

Tun, I cannot understand how you can equate “working with the opposition” in order to reform the judiciary as a “display of weakness” on part of the government.
Shouldn’t national interests prevail over partisan politics?
In any event, the issue of a quid pro quo with the opposition does not arise. The opposition has always called for measures to safeguard the independence of the judiciary.
In fact, the opposition should propose for the setting up of a Commission that makes direct recommendations to the Agong.

Mr Prime Minister:
It is sad a person of your stature would actually say that because the Govt. does not have the required 2/3 majority, it should not work with the opposition on important issues that might benefit the nation.
The cornerstone of democracy is the existence of a vibrant and meaningful opposition. The fact that both the Govt and the opposition can work together on this important issue means that both recognise the good of it for the rakyat.
It is also noteworthy that while there is mention of the proposed Commission, there is no mention of the state of the Judiciary. While I do not wholly share the common sentiments expressed of the 1988 Juducial crisis, it is a common perception that the Judiciary is mired with controversies and the proposed appointment of the Commission is very important.
I agree that the constitution of the Commission is also important. It should also be independent of the PM’s decision or the PM should accept the appointment proposed by the Commission.
Now that the Commission has been proposed, believe me, the rakyat will never forgive either the Govt nor the opposition if either or both of them renegade on the promise to see it through in a way acceptable to the rakyat.This is not like the Police Commission. It goes beyond that.

Da Real Deal said…
Sir, welcome to the world of blogging.
The system needn’t be changed if the players in the current system are straight. I presume they are making these changes on the assumption that there is no independence in the judiciary.
The Prime Minister is also inferring that he, along with the judges who sit to propose cannot be trusted to do so with a lucid mind and a clear conscience.
While he concedes to the pressure from people who usually votes the other side, the PM remains silent on your call for a commission-like Presidential Council in UMNO.
In fact, we should just abolish the Supreme Council altogether and maintain a Presidential Council instead with fewer people but with greater influence and stature in UMNO. 40 useless people sitting in the Supreme Council is a waste of space and provides for false glamour.
I’m wondering now if the Judicial Commission will be set up in time before his departue in December.

Dear Dr. M,
If the revamp of the appointment system is good for the Rakyat, I believe the Oppositions would jump into it quicker than BN itself, so why are you so worried about the Government not getting enough support from the Opposition?
The only doubt you need to have is perhaps wether the Government is sincere in carrying out this good deed, or are they just saying it as matter of political rhetoric?
I for one do not think that anything great will be done and appointment of Zaki, the UMNO lawyer is just a good example of Government’s conceeted effort to erode the judiciary independence.

I am an Arab Muslim, probably your biggest fan. Malaysia has become my home for the last 13 years. You will always be a hero to many of us who are yearning to prove our ability as Muslims to contribute to the well-being of this world in a positive way.
Whenever I go back to the Middle East, the notion that I came from Malaysia with a business proposal, your name is mentioned with a smile and a wish that my world, the Arab world have few (clones) of you to lead it out of the mess we are in.
You are a hero there, more than in your country, not because you stood against Western double standards or of your outspokenness, but because you have been the mastermind of Malaysia development, growth and prosperity, something other Muslim leaders have failed to deliver for their countries for the last few hundred years.
May Allah bless you with good health, contentment and more wisdom for many years to come. So that we learn from you.

Tun what do you think of the demand by the Christian that they have the right to use the word Allah in their publications? They say the Arabs has been using it but since when the Arabs is our role models? I think we shud take the context of how the malays using the term here, the societal context and not quoting the Arabs or follow thw Arabs example just because it’s convenient for our argument. Next the Christians will say the Muslims and the Christians God is one of the same since we use the same term to refer to it. Yes God that created us is the same but shouldn’t people have the rights to identify with their own God rather than be forced to accept that all Gods is the same. What do you think of PAS support of the Christians demand? Don’t get me wrong I’m not trying to be racist or anything but enough is enough. We Malays have to give and give and give until we got nothing more to give then only the non-malays will be satisfied.

Dear Tun,
Sbg generasi saluran 3 kami mempunyai sedikit pandangan terhadap pembentukan kerajaan baru. Apa yang kami harapkan adalah kematangan ahli2 politik khasnya MPs dalam membincangkan, menterjemahkan dan melaksanakan isu-isu kepentingan nasional. Contoh yang amat ketara adalah perbalahan dalam Parlimen semalam yang mana terlalu ketara perbalahan isu-isu remeh dikalangan golongan yang menerajui NEGARA KITA MALAYSIA. Baik parti pembangkang mahupun pemerintah, masing2 sekadar mencari salah dan bukannya mencari penyelesaian terhadap isu yang jauh lebih utama demi peningkatan minda masyarakat tempatan.
Kami mengharapkan agar Yg Amt Brbhgia Tun dapat memberi komen bernas terhadap perkara ini. Terima kasih atas perhatian.

Sebelum ini saya hanya berpeluang membaca tulisan anak perempuan Tun (Marina) di blog beliau yang begitu bernas bukan sahaja untuk masyarakat Malaysia tetapi juga masyarakat antarabangsa.
Seperti yang diketahui ramai, Tun memang suka menulis. Namun, saya berharap agar Tun tidak terlalu sibuk sehingga mengabaikan kesihatan Tun.
Looking forward to see your new writing…
May God bless you in each and every moment of you daily life…

Tun Mahathir, congrats for having a place for us to tell you what we think about you.
Despite the developments(precisely building hard concretes) you brought to malaysia is fairly appreciatable, yet, in term of media freedom, judiciary independence, corruption rates, you are nowhere better than your successor, you are only smarter than him that you know how to hide the problems.
Anyway, it’s a right move for you to criticize the government. Just please don’t add in your personal emotion.
BUT, the thing that I can’t agree with you, is you’ve been trying to arrange the next PM.

Dear Tun,
Velkommen!
Maybe at 82, some will probably think you are too old for this and you should spend more time enjoying your old days with grandchildren etc, but for you I guess age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter!
Teruskan Tun, the game is still on! Men do not quit playing because they grow old; they grow old because they quit playing!
All the best and many are looking forward to, hopefully, constructive and open minded discussion.

Hi Tun,
How the Commission actually appoint the judges or if it would only recommend the names for the PM to approve or otherwise is still better to have Lingam s/o Vincent to select and get your rubber stamp as approval?
I think in whatever small way our country is heading for a better direction than the 22 dark years under Tun.

Salam Sejahtera Tun,
Tak tersangka dan amat bergembira mendapati Tun ber”blog”. Saya amat menghormati and gemar mendengar keberanian Tun berucap dan berhujah terhadap topik, negara Msia tersendiri ataupun isu negara barat. Akan tetapi, sikap keberanian Tun kebelangkaan ini amat membimbangkan saya, kerana pada masa gawat dan dengan kerajaan yg seakan goyah ini mungkin akan merugikan rakyat secara amnya dan negara secara khususnys.
Sekian.

morning Sir,
i’m Lim,now studying in Moscow medical school under JPA schorlarship..
before the country send me to study overseas,i never felt so terhutang budi to Malaysia..
i watched how u speak in public and i really admire your wit and steadiness..
i’m going to be a doctor, not a polician like you did.. but i really hope tat i’ll have a portion of your spirit and semangat..
maybe in your next public speaking you can include this message to malaysian people..
people of Malaysia should think not what the country can do for them, instead, they should think wat they can do for the country..
and Malaysians should stop tearing each other down and start lifting the country up..

Salam Hormat Tun, just dropping in to say welcome and how excited I am that you are actually blogging. The first book you wrote that I read was the Malay Dilemma and I have been reading many of your books and speeches ever since, it has influenced much of my perception and thinking. I pray that you will be in the best of health so that you would complete your memoirs and continue to strongly contribute towards a strong and vibrant Malaysia.
Many of us greatly missed you since your retirement and whatever speeches or interviews that you give since then is a special occasion in itself. Your self confidence and the language in your speech is awe inspiring, just wished that your predecessor had only 1/3 of your abilities, Malaysia would not be in a muddle right now.
In a bid to reenergise his waning premiership Pak Lah is embarking on half baked reforms like how the judges are supposed to be nominated which does not lead to anything fruitful much like his forgotten sloganeering campaigns like Cemerlang,Terbilang and what nots.
The truth of the matter is and I agree with you Tun is that Pak Lah need to go now so that UMNO and BN can regroup to face the next PRU13.Pak Lah is a weak leader, just look at the ruckus in parliament yesterday,it would never have happened under your watch Tun. TQ.

Paul Naidu said…
dear Dr M
welcome to the blogger world
many allegations are made against you, but nobody has come with any solid proof.
during your term in office, the
kopi shop politics called you 10% PM….?..i do not know why, but just like sheep i followed the masses.
the decline in judiciary is attributed to you. now i have some doubts as there are some skeletons
in tun saleh closet, that nobody knew about.
there are many things both big and small that we are angry with you, because it affected our personal lives….but than again collateral damage would be acceptable, for the good of the nation.
i myself call you a tyrant, but don’t get me wrong, i mean this in a goodway, because sometimes if you are not one, you could not have archived what malaysia is today..that much i appreciate you.
then in anwar’s case, i do not know
the complete story, because being a commoner we are not privileged to the information. but what ever it was, i must say you did a good thing, meaning that, because of what anwar went through, it has i believe changed him for the better.
if not, he would have gone on to PM after you and noting would have changed in BN…..same old corruption,cronyism,ect….
so bcause of those events 10yrs ago , we now have the Pakatan rakyat..which i believe should be good for malaysian politics for check and balances.
in away you played a very important role in changing the climate of malaysian politics as seen today.
so how can i be angry with you?..it may not be what you wanted, but events played out such that the change in malaysia today, is good for all malaysians…and you should take some credit for this.

Congrates Tun and welcome to world of bloggers. My concern is Malaysia is loosing our personality as a “well respected country”. Another concern is the direction of the leaders in Malaysia, the corruptions,Cronyism and being greedy. can’t we have a true leaders without having all those bad qualities. can’t malaysia leaders today work for rakyat sincerely and truthfully without gaving any back end agenda

Dear Tun Dr. Mahathir,
Rocky summed it right: The blogosphere will never be the same again.
In the space of a few months the Malaysian ‘blogosphere’ has changed completely. Not too long ago a young brash upstart, notoriously known by his acronyms – has likened bloggers to monkeys. Eventually he too has turned to blogs. And now we have our own most respected elder statesman joining the fray…
Welcome Tun and we look forward to your thoughts and more often not there will probably be disagreements. Please forgive us because in all probability we have never had the liberty to see the ‘big picture’, often missing the woods for the trees, so to speak. The important thing is to share your views and get a healthy debate going.
It’s about time, Sir.

YABhg. TUN,
Semoga ALLAH SWT memanjangkan umur Tun untuk menegur individu Melayu yang menyeleweng dan menderhaka kepada bangsa, agama dan negara.
Saya amat tertarik dengan sikap rendah diri TUN dan kesungguhan berterusan untuk mempelajari Al-Quran termasuk menggunakan teknologi bagi memudahkan pencarian maklumat dalam kitab suci umat Islam.
Saya diberitahu oleh seorang ustadz yang “terasa malu” kerana TUN sendiri yang mengejut beliau untuk bangun mengimamkan sembahyang Subuh. Saya diberitahu oleh seorang ustadz bahawa TUN mahu mengambil sendiri batu untuk melontar sedangkan beliau sudah menyediakannya. Saya diberitahu oleh tokoh korporat, TUN mengarahkan harga 4WD ditawarkan pada harga yang mampu dibeli oleh orang Melayu kerana sedih melihat ramai orang Melayu “terbunuh” dalam kemalangan kerana menaiki van dan tidak mampu membeli 4WD.
Jika mereka mengetahui “luar dan dalam” mengenai TUN, sudah pasti mereka tidak tergamak untuk menghina atau memperlekehkan TUN. Jika mereka tahu bagaimana TUN membela seorang pemimpin kesayangan TUN, barulah mereka tahu bahawa perkataan “zalim dan fitnah” itu amat jauh daripada peribadi TUN.
Apa pun, manusia tetap manusia. Yang baik datangnya dari ALLAH SWT.

Even the former PM of Malaysia have to jump to blogging….. that’s Malaysia, Free Malaysia!!!
As long as Pak Lah helms BN, BN will face slow death, drastic changes are needed failing which UMNO and BN will cease to exist.
A new world order is in the making and Malaysia will be part of it. Time is running short, I don’t see anyone capable of saving BN in the horizon.

Dear Tun,
First i would express my deepest congulation to your new blog.
After 8 of March,Its seems that our PM still has not come to his sense and not knowing what is wrong with his leadership after you handed power to him since 2004.I agreed with your thoughts that the people voted the opposition not because we agree or believe the opposition.Its because after our new PM came into power these few years.We did not see any progess in the country.Also it seems that he did not know what the people really wants for him and his goverment.What he really knows is what his “family”wants.I must say that your words to BN is really what the people wants from him.
Lastly,I would like you to know that we really miss you and very proud to have you as our PM.It was you that made all Malaysian proud of.We really owe you alot.
May God gives all his blessing to you and Tun Hasmah with good health.Thank you again!!!

askum Tun/ayahanda
pertama sekali tahniah kepada Tun kerana dengan adanya blog ini dapatla kami dari pelapis warisan negara dekat dengan Tun dan juga ingin meminta pendapat dari Tun.
sejak Tun melepas jawatan pada 2003,pelbagai masalah yang dihadapi oleh kami ,golongan pelajar IPT mengenai dunia MSC yang semakin hilang keberkesannya ..
dan kini 2008,cyberjaya masih dah mencecah usia lebih dari 10tahun..tapi apa yang kita lihat..arus pembangunan semakin suram dan hilang dari pandangan masyarakat ..status MSC kini tidak tertumpu kawasan segitiga tapi boleh bertapak di mana mana,kesan nya pelajar IT sukar untuk mendapat pekerjaan di peringkat global sekiranya ia berterusan.harap Tun dapat membantu kami di cyberjaya
..sudah 4 tahun di cyberjaya tetapi semakin hari semakin suram..ibarat padang jarak padang tekukur..

Dear Tun Che Det
Sir, you absolutely amaze me! With so many people (largely anonymous) still screaming and spewing obscenities at you in cyberspace, you still dare to start a blog.
I feel ashamed that I did not have your kind of courage. I used to have this fear that people would use my blog to bash me up or whack somebody else. And, if they can’t bash me up in my blog, they will whack me in their blogs.
Welcome to blogosphere!

I am very glad that I can post something in your blog…macam dapat cakap sendiri dengan Tun lah…sebenarnya i have always wanted to meet you and Tun Hasmah since I started working and voting in the 80’s…but never got the chance…
semoga Tun dipanjangkan umur & murah rezeki selalu. You did not fail the people (esp. Malays) It is the people who failed to carry out your vision and it is your political subordinates who have failed us all…

Dear Sir,
Malaysia needs a leader like you now which I think is critical to reinvent Umno and Barisan Nasional as a whole.
If the current situation is allowed to go on without any drastic makeover of Barisan ( specfically Umno , MCA , MIC , Gerakan) , I dare say Barisan will go to the dumps before the next election if not sooner.
I have not witness any reinvention of the parties ideology , approach ,actions etc except squabbling about old and stale issues and politics.
Some in Barisan have woken up especially YB Datuk Ong Ka Ting.
I am a Malaysian first and my root is Indian the same way Americans identify themselves and I am damn proud to be a Malaysian.
But my wife , infant son and I are classified as Non-Bumiputra. My one month old son will grow as a non-bumiputra even though he is the son of this soil.
Its time to treat all citizens equal under eye of the law and amend the constitution.It was something that needed to be done 50 years ago for peace but now something need to be done another 50 years of peace and progress
May God bless you and wife

Assalamualaikum Tun Dr Mahathir.
Selamat datang ke Dunia Blogger. Semoga hanya idea yang baik dan jujur sahaja yang Tun ‘blogkan’.
Semoga kekalutan seperti yang kerap berlaku dalam BN dan UMNO dapat dihentikan.
Banyak kekalutan UMNO yang perlu Tun usaha untuk selesaikan seperti terpapar disini:

Once you said the alternative media as irrelevant and rubbish but today you seem to have eaten the humble pie and today you have also befriended the alternative media like the MalaysiaToday.
We still remember how you treat your opponents very well. We’ll never forget that and finally God is great since you are no longer the PM!

Firaza said…
Dear Tun,
I believe you made a blunder when you chose Pak Lah and going to make another one by lobbying for Najib.
In short, you need to correct the mistakes done earlier and you know for a fact that Anwar is far better off than these two clowns.
Be a gentleman and admit your mistakes. You were misled by other ministers who were envious of Anwar’s relationship with you.

Dear Tun M,
I think it is stupidity of the first order on the part of Pak Lah’s government to entertain the demand from the opposition to reform the judiciary. Only a weak government will have no choice but to succumb to such pressure. What a pity!!
There is nothing wrong with the judiciary system. Why the need to reform?
I just wonder if you would agree with me that the present judiciary system is intact and there is nothing wrong with it, except maybe the choice of people running the system could be haprak and HP6.

Assalamualaikum Tun,
Pertama sekali saya ucapkan tahniah kepada Tun kerana telah menjadi salah saorang daripada bloggers.
kedua, jika berpeluang, saya ingin mendengar penjelasan Tun di blog chedet.com mengenai
“Siapakah yang paling layak menjadi PM selepas Paklah”
saya sebagai ra
idea ini kononnya akan menjadikan badan kehakiman tidak dipengaruhi kuasa eksekutif perdana menteri..namun ini adalah retorik..jika tingkat 4 pun mampu mempengaruhi PM inikan pula badan kehakiman..
