Chief Judge Of Malaya : An Appointment With Wide Implications

Reports that Attorney-General Datuk Ahmad Terrirudin Salleh is expected to be appointed as a Federal Court judge, with the possibility of later assuming the role of Chief Judge of Malaya, have raised concerns about executive influence in judicial appointments. Ramkarpal Singh, a former deputy minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform), shares his concerns on what this might mean for the independence of Malaysia's judiciary.
