Procedural flaw in JAC proceedings?

What else politicians and politicians' friends can play other than politicking? 

Government's defensive attitude and responses should be seen as normal everytime they are attacked by the oppositions. Unhappy group of individuals in the governing coalition itself attacking leaders in the government may benefit oppositions, but this group could have lost control in bringing back their happiness.

Make yourself happy even you are acting like a mouse repairing a fruit. Old Malay saying goes.. tikus membaiki labu.

For the past few days, concerns have been raised about the short-notice urgent meeting allegedly called by the Acting Chief Justice Datuk Seri Hasnah Hashim.

According  to legal expert Encik Hafiz Hassan, reference had been made to Section 13(2) of the Judicial Appointments Commission Act 2009, which states that at least ten days’ notice in writing or by electronic mail shall be given to the members of the Judicial Appointment Commission (JAC).

He further elaborate that it may be said that the 10-day notice is procedural in nature. JAC members, who are no ordinary folks, may consent to a shorter notice having regards to attending circumstances.

"Or they may raise it (the short notice) with the Acting Chief Justice," he said.

Hafiz reminded: " Let us not be like the Malay saying: “lebih sudu dari kuah”. When the short-notice urgent meeting was disclosed to the media, I would respectfully say in Malay: “ada yang lebih sudu dari kuah”. Hahaha.

"One has to be mindful of Sections 15 and 16 of the JAC Act. Section 15(c) says that no act done or proceeding taken under the Act shall be questioned on the ground of an omission, a defect or an irregularity not affecting the merits of the case.

"Section 16 empowers the JAC to determine its own procedure," he emphasized.

"So, can one say that the alleged short-notice urgent meeting was flawed for non-compliance with Section 13(2) of the Act?"

Hafiz wrote and published by Malay Mail yesterday, Tuesday 8 July 2025.
