While the appeal hearing of MB vs MB is being played out at the Court of Appeal, we observe more ‘lopsided coincidences’ – incidents that seriously question the confidence and integrity of the Malaysian judiciary.

First, as reported:

It is learnt that (Nizar’s) letter to request the five-member panel did not reach the Court of Appeal president Alauddin Md Sheriff on time.

How weird when the request was faxed to the CoA on May 18. Does it take more than three days for a piece of paper to reach the desk of the CoA president? For such an urgent matter affecting our Constitution, mind you! So this is indeed one lopsided coincidence. Contrast this with the other lopsided coincidences, when Zambry got his stay order hearing the very next day and got his stay order within hours. Fine, you can say coincidences do happen, but these are very lopsided.

Then, there is second lopsided coincidence today:

(Nizar’s) application before the court today is to set aside the stay of execution order obtained by his rival Zambry Abd Kadir against a High Court ruling which had declared Nizar as the legitimate menteri besar of Perak.

However, the court will first hear Zambry’s appeal proper today.
