11. Set Right Judiciary

Parti Keadilan Rakyat has appealed to the King to get to the bottom of the video scandal and judiciary.

The party submitted a letter last Friday, 28th September, requesting Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin to set up a Royal Commission to investigate the possible breach of conduct exhibited in the video tape.

“We come here to seek the goodwill of the King to look into the matters of the judiciary and the separation of powers,” said PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail after submitting the letter at Istana Negara - Malaysiakini.

And meanwhile a lawyer, Haris Ibrahim of The People's Parliament, has launched a Rakyat's Petition to DYMM Yang di Pertuan Agong. Read all about it here and sign. It is not just for the video scandal but also to set right the Judiciary. A very laudable and commendable effort by a citizen who cares about his country and the judiciary and deserves the support all.

"Last night, the number of signatories to the petition stood at 1,600. As at 1.30 pm this afternoon (5.10.2007), the total number of signatories was 1,794. If each person who has signed on can get another 2 persons to sign the petition, we would have come within striking distance of the target of 5,000. Please help to set right our judiciary," says Haris Ibrahim.
