Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz, who is the de-facto law minister, talks to ANIZA DAMIS about the controversial video clip, the judiciary, the Bar Council and bloggers.
Q: Is there a crisis in the judiciary? Why is there a perception of there being one?
A: There isn’t a crisis. It’s a false allegation. The perception has been created by some people. When I go back to my constituency, nobody talks about it. When people do not go to the courts to settle their disputes, that’s when there’s a crisis. But I don’t see that. The few people who are unhappy, make a lot of noise. It is reported, people read, and think there is a crisis.
Crisis means it involves the whole country but nobody talks about it. I even asked my fellow members of parliament (MP) but nobody talks about it. So, what crisis are we talking about? The crisis is in the minds of those who created it.

This dimwit does not know the difference between a crisis and his half-baked brain. So why was a panel set up albeit the panel of the three stooges?
Q: Some 1,000-2,000 lawyers were involved in the Bar Council walk. Are you saying that that many lawyers have been misled? A: Only 1,000 went to the ground. There are 13,000 registered members of the Bar. Q: You don’t think 1,000 is enough? A: 1,000 of 13,000 — is that a majority? What’s the big deal? In a democracy, the minority cannot control the majority. The minority does not speak for the majority. Comments:
All he knows is majority and minority. Two words which are unimportant for him. He has total disrespect for the minority. Majority=Democracy, Democracy=Majority? Who is this 'majority'? It includes the gullible kampong folks who have been duped by their own kind via the mainstream media full of propaganda. Give them handouts and they are content. Give them an early salary and they worship you because they believe the high fliers care. Now watch them go to pawn shops. This guy is totally ignorant of the Malaysian Constitution.
Q: Aren’t the views of the minority also important?
A: But (they are) not (the) majority. If there are any decisions to be made, it has got to be the majority.
Comments:
The views of the minority are all-important. So, the views of the Indians and the Chinese are not important ... including the kampong Malays.
Q: So, if you wanted to be convinced (that there is a crisis), you would need 7,000 lawyers to walk?
A: Even then, it’s still not important to us, because the lawyers are not the only people who use the courts. The ordinary people use the court in their disputes.
It must be a majority of the population who feel that there is a crisis. Otherwise, there is nothing.
Comments:
This is baffling. The Bar Council is representing the minority. The people have turned to the Bar Council to voice out their grievances. !000 lawyers are a minority. 7000 lawyers are not important. Mind boggling.
Q: Do you really want that many people marching in the streets?
A: No. You don’t have to have millions of people marching in the streets. Let the people decide, whether there is a crisis or not, through the legal means of sharing your dissent or anger — through the ballot box.
Comments:
The people decide? This dimwit knows that the Election Commission is not independent.
A: Then you can say, “Let’s have elections once every three years then.” We have to work within the system that we have.
Q: So, what you are suggesting is, if people are unhappy with the judiciary, they should vote BN out?
A: Ya.
Comments:
BN is the Judiciary and the Judiciary is BN. Where is the Separation of Powers? The Judiciary, the Legislature and the Executive? They are all called Barisan Nasional aka the Government.
Q: But what if people want a BN government, but they also want you to ensure a clean judiciary?
A: So then go talk to the judges — why talk to us? I’m the Executive. How can they ask me to sack the chief justice (CJ)? Comments:
Who is asking you to sack the CJ? Again, he has shown his ignorance. The power to suspend rests with the Agong on advice and the power to establish a Royal Commission also rests with the Agong. The people are asking for an Independent Royal Council. Petitions have been sent to the Agong.
