LETTER | Justice Hamid Sultan – the need for RCI A - LETTER | We are troubled by matters related to the functioning of the Malaysian judiciary and the way allegations made about judicial misconduct is being treated by the authorities. Some months ago, Court of Appeal judge Hamid Sultan Abu Backer revealed in an affidavit made by him in connection with a case, of several instances of interference with the judicial process. The allegations of impropriety at the highest judicial levels, of high-profile cases involving opposition politicians, leave us wondering about the veracity of decisions arrived at by our courts. The allegations coming from a senior and respected judge, seriously erode the confidence and trust of the public in the judicial system and the judges.
