The majority voted them in with huge mandate, for better or for worse.<BR/><BR/>What is the benchmark that we use to measure what u wrote represents the "public" as well as the "majoirty voice".<BR/><BR/>Just a tot!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1181672827682662169.post-51736601134179375252007-05-28T17:10:00.000+08:002007-05-28T17:10:00.000+08:00hello, just dropping by.is it ok if i link up to u...hello, just dropping by.<BR/>is it ok if i link up to u?<BR/>i find ur blog both relevant and timely.<BR/><BR/>thanks and have a nice day!<BR/>petrinathe Sojournerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07813621905539700019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1181672827682662169.post-14131811280704675732007-05-23T03:30:00.000+08:002007-05-23T03:30:00.000+08:00malik,i'm a highschool dropout so i will not prete...malik,<BR/><BR/>i'm a highschool dropout so i will not pretend to know a whole lot.I follow your work because my sister is a senior lawyer and she speaks highly and often of you.<BR/><BR/>to me, nazri was just doing his PR, he wasn't interested in debate of any kind. <BR/><BR/>you see him in the papers the next day, and he looks like this progressive young minister open to debates. fuck that la.<BR/><BR/>he used you guys and you let him.<BR/><BR/>dont be stupid.steviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15194605297616167742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1181672827682662169.post-27587411638883974772007-05-15T08:01:00.000+08:002007-05-15T08:01:00.000+08:00Dear Malik, the Po Kuan issue got me a bit senile ...Dear Malik, the Po Kuan issue got me a bit senile over the past few days. Just wondering, if you could use your ‘ice’ to amplify this. <BR/><BR/>I love Po Kuan, we all do, but that is not the issue. If there is a 10 best blogs award, this would win one and on that score, Disquiet owes us. <BR/><BR/>I seriously believe the government has quelled a potentially violent mob by NOT axing the offenders and we are directly responsible for creating this mob; and I have not belabored beyond this post.

By right I should be emailing you but I thot I catch your attention here.<BR/><BR/>You have raised alot question about Article 121(1A) and I believe there are several cases that you are handling concerning this article.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Today, I chanced upon Selangor's Administration of Syariah and noticed that under the civil jurisdicton of syariah court they do not have jurisdiction if all the parties involved were not muslim.<BR/><BR/>I also noted that the Administration of Islamic (FT) Law also carry the same limitation.<BR/><BR/>See 46(2)<BR/>_________________________<BR/>(2) A Syariah High Court shall-<BR/><BR/>(a) in its criminal jurisdiction, try any offence committed by a Muslim and punishable under the Enactment or the Islamic Family Law (Federal Territories) Act 1984, or under any other written law prescribing offences against precepts of the religion of Islam for the time being in force, and may impose any punishment provided therefor;<BR/><BR/>(b) in its civil jurisdiction, hear and determine all actions and proceedings in which all the parties are Muslims and which relate to-<BR/><BR/>(i) betrothal, marriage, ruju', divorce, nullity of marriage (fasakh), nusyuz, or judicial separation (faraq) or other matters relating to the relationship between husband and wife;<BR/><BR/>(ii) any disposition of, or claim to, property arising out of any of the matters set out in subparagraph (i);<BR/><BR/>(iii) the maintenance of dependants, legitimacy, or guardianship or custody (hadhanah) of infants;<BR/><BR/>(iv) the division of, or claims to, harta sepencarian;<BR/><BR/>(v) wills or death-bed gifts (marad-al-maut) of a deceased Muslim;<BR/><BR/>(vi) gifts inter vivos, or settlements made without adequate consideration in money or money's worth, by a Muslim;<BR/><BR/>(vii) wakaf or nazr;<BR/><BR/>(viii) division and inheritance of testate or intestate property;<BR/><BR/>(ix) the determination of the persons entitled to share in the estate of a deceased Muslim or of the shares to which such persons are respectively entitled; or<BR/><BR/>(x) other matters in respect of which jurisdiction is conferred by any written law.<BR/><BR/>__________________________<BR/><BR/>So a matter involving custody in cases like Saravanan and Jayaganesh I am wondering why the Syariah court even entertain his application whereby the other party one party was not a muslim.<BR/><BR/>I am leaving to you to raise this point.

Ergo, in the long run, a robust and independent judiciary is good for business.<BR/>If health can become health-tourism, why not the law, ahem.. jurisdiction-tourism. Its going on already anyway. But we are at the losing end for as long as the country is in need to negotiate and conclude contracts with large MNCs, they will park the jurisdiction in another country, US, Hong Kong, Singapore, Geneva... anywhere but Malaysia. The Government may (and I stress 'may') have the clout to insist on local law and jurisdiction in most of their contracts with foreign parties, but the rest of us are mostly handicapped in that area. Let's support the independence and professionalism of the judiciary, for business sake, if not for purely moral reasons.
