Consider This: Judicial Independence — The Line Must Hold

Tan Sri Hasnah Mohammed Hashim, the Chief Judge of Malaya and currently the highest ranked judge in the judiciary, is now the Acting Chief Justice, until a new appointment is made. However the transition has been anything but smooth. For the first time in Malaysia’s legal history, the top two posts in the judiciary fell vacant simultaneously—and without prior announcement or clarity on succession. At a time when public confidence in institutions is fragile, what will it take to ensure the judiciary remains credible, independent, and sacrosanct? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan, former President of the Malaysian Bar (2007-2009) and former Chairperson of Bersih.
