Perak: the judge has made the judgement
NH Chan is former Court of Appeal judge, respected for his prudence and professionalism. He belongs to the old generation of Malaysian judges that commanded the glory of the region and the world, until the dark ages befell it in 1988 with the intervention by the executive under Dr. M.
In his retirement, withnessing the Perak state crisis unfolding at his home state, NH Chan wrote an exemplary commentary in Malaysiakini today. Most of us already know the right and the wrong of the crisis. In fact the title of Chan’s article, “Sultan has no powers to ask Nizar to quit”, will not attract most readers to read it at this juncture. We are already overloaded with many pieces from various subject experts.
