I have cut-paste from Malaysiakini on the report on the Royal Commission. The much awaited news, which is supposed to be a ray of hope, was dashed by the appointment of Haidar as Chairman and the limited terms of reference. Am I surprise? I must say I expected it as this is a norm of our government propaganda of a denial syndrome. Reference only on LINGAMGATE with only a limited terms of reference and touch NOTHING on the much battered Judiciary. What a news? What a breakthrough or rather is there one? Sighhhhh
Again, a black eye on the judiciary...
----Malaysiakini reports
A five-member royal commission headed by former Chief Judge of Malaya Haidar Mohamed Noor has been announced today by the government to look into the Lingam tape.
Other members of the commission are former Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Steven Shim, former Court of Appeal judge Mahadev Shankar, former Solicitor General Zaitun Zawiyah Puteh and academic Khoo Kay Kim.
