Call for judge's recusal amid misconduct allegations
KUALA LUMPUR: A Federal Court judge at the centre of serious misconduct allegations must recuse himself from hearing any appeals or applications until a police investigation is completed, a group representing civil society and legal figures said today (June 25). The Sekretariat Pertahan Sistem Kehakiman said the judge should step aside in light of claims that cast doubt on his impartiality and risk undermining public confidence in the judiciary. "The judge must, with humility, withdraw from all proceedings while investigations are ongoing. These allegations are enough to taint the oath of loyalty taken by any member of the Bench," the group said in a statement today. The group issued the statement following the circulation of a police report which alleged that the judge had tried to influence the Chief Justice to rule in favour of a particular party. It was further claimed that he requested the transfer of a High Court judge who had presided over a case and disagreed with his views. "This matter is extremely serious. "Even though the allegations remain unproven, they strike at the very heart of judicial integrity." The judge has also been named in a leave application to initiate committal proceedings and reported to the authorities over possible offences under Sections 204 and 209 of the Penal Code. The allegations are linked to the case commonly referred to as the Najib Razak Addendum Decree. The group said the police must be allowed to investigate freely and without interference from any party. "The integrity and dignity of the judiciary have become a matter of public discussion. The police must be given full space to carry out their duties," it said. It stressed that the judiciary must act in defence of the rule of law, and must be seen to do so. It urged the Judicial Appointments Commission to exclude the judge's name from any recommendations for appointment to higher judicial office, including Chief Judge of Malaya, President of the Court of Appeal, and Chief Justice, until the police report is fully dealt with. The group reminded the media of its role in asking the right questions and ensuring the public is kept informed of ongoing developments. It also expressed regret over any attempts to pressure the media, if such efforts are in fact taking place. "All Malaysians, regardless of background, have a responsibility to monitor the appointment process of key public positions to ensure they are not compromised by an overly powerful executive," it added. The secretariat said it would continue to update the public through the media on any further actions it would take.
