Appeals court: No one should be afraid of
criticising government
PETALING JAYA: The public should not be afraid to talk about government and public officers’ conduct, says the Court of Appeal.
In a 31-page written judgment by Court of Appeal Judge Justice Idrus Harun, in the case of Pahang Menteri Besar Adnan Yaacob suing Utusan Melayu for defamation, he noted the people should discuss their government and public officials’ conduct without being subjected to civil actions for their opinion.
“Such right to talk has been enshrined under Article 10(1)(a) of the Constitution, without any common law principle being applied.”
Idrus also said that any actions taken against individuals who voiced out their criticisms was against the public interest and would affect the fundamental liberties of a person.
“As public interest dictates, a democratically elected government and officers should be subjected to criticism and every responsible citizen should not be restrained in their opinions on the government’s affairs and administration.”
The panel, which also consisted of Justice Rohana Yusof and Justice Mary Lim, suggested that the Derbyshire principle, which rules that those holding office in public bodies like local authorities cannot sue in their official capacity, should be applied and be adopted in the country’s defamation laws.
“The English court’s decision, in our opinion, is no less valid and should be applied and be part of our defamation laws.
“It has a similar principle related to our freedom of speech under the Constitution and that public interest does not favour the right of government and its officers to sue for libel,” Idrus said.
It is refreshing to see some judges are still upholding the law and liberty in this country. Sad that the same can’t be said about their fraternity brother in the AG chambers.

"their fraternity brother in the AG chambers"? He was once a Judge, wasn't he? Retired, given the post of AG, his first task appeared to be expressing gratitude beyond expectations - declared the bossman did not do anything wrong over the billions of Ringgit in his bank accounts.
ReplyDeleteNot much more can be heard of the 1MDB wrong doings in the country. But hope the investigations in the 7 countries will lead to an explosive scandal many times the present scale leading to the bossman resigning or replaced by UMNO.
Ye le, Mahkamah itu kata "The public should not be afraid to talk about government and public officers’ conduct."
ReplyDeleteTapi sapa sanggup di heret ke Balai Polis di soal siasat dan di heret ke Mahkamah kalau cakap terang terang menghentam depa?
Tu le, rakyat kena pilih gomen baik baik. Kalo dah Bugis Lanun mengsonglap berbilion Ringgit tuh, mana rakyat nak diam aje, kena le risiko di soal siasat, di heret ke Mahkamah.
DeleteGunakan undi tu baik baik. Termasuk di PRK Sg Besar dan K Kangsar nih. Jangan undi puak Bugis Lanun.
Mengikut laporan FMT, "The public should not be afraid to talk about government and public officers’ conduct, says the Court of Appeal."
ReplyDeleteKejap lg..kena tukar lar hakim2 ni kot...
ReplyDeleteApa tujuan kau kata begitu, Mat? Nak nakutkan orang ke? Kau bunyi macam Penyokong Najib (capital P) yang keluar di sana sini, komen sepatah dua nak coba menegakkan benag basah si Najib. Komen di 331 di bawah ni, kau jugak. Fly Kite tu memang trademark kau.
DeleteKasi komen yang berisi le, Mamat. Tak le bikin orang tak suka kat Najib sebab engkau Penyokong nya selalu ha nya menyakitkan hati pembaca. Tak coba langsong cari fakta dan hujah yang membina, yang boleh menolong Najib.
yg pasti DR dah tak relevan .. protun dan madey nyanyok go fly kite !!
ReplyDeleteKomen aku di 4:05 yang di tujukan kpd komen 2:43 mungkin salah orang yang di tujukan. Sebab 2:43 tak kasi bayangan jika dia bukan Penyokong Najib atau tidak. Kalau salah orang, mintak maaf le teman di pagi hari puasa ni.
DeleteTapi komen itu memang tepat di tujukan kapada 3:31 di atas ini. Dia memang Mr Fly Kite sebab dia ada tulis begitu. Apa yang aku tulis di 4:05 itu memang tepat untuk dia di 3:31 ini.
U-turn SD emerges over allegation of fraud in Citizens’ Declaration
DeleteThe programmer who alleged fraud in the Citizens’ Declaration petition in a statutory declaration (SD) has purportedly made another SD retracting the claim.
According to the SD which carried Azharuddin Othman @ Abdullah’s name, he claimed that the first SD revealed to the press on May 26 contained “mistakes”.
In the original SD, Azharuddin alleged that he sold a database of 900,000 names to Syarul Ema Rena Abu Samah, whose nickname is Ratu Naga, for the purpose of the Citizens’ Declaration.
“I would like to state that I do not know the person known as Ema or also known as ‘Ratu Naga’ and never had any dealings with her.
“Before this, I was hired to hold a press conference based on the text given by the person who hired me which is Badrul Hisham Shaharin,” he said in the latest SD.

DeletePENGHAKIMAN YANG BELUM DIMAKAN ANAI ANAI...
ReplyDeleteAlberto Fujimori bekas Presiden Chile yang korap mcm nak mampos masih dalam penjara. Penghakiman yang amat bagus, di buat lama dulu.
Macam kata Tun Madey di blog nya:
the Brazilian president was ordered to go on leave until investigations against him were completed, as well as how Umno presidents and prime ministers in Malaysia resigned when it was clear that the people no longer supported them.
"But the evidence of Najib's wrongdoings is clear, and has been exposed throughout the world. He cannot deny them.
Aku nak tengok PENGHAKIMAN kpd pemimpin Malaysia yang songlap berbilion ringgit yang tak DIMAKAN ANAI ANAI...

Delete‘Dragon Queen’ Syarul Ema takes on her accuser. He cabut lari with Cikgu Bad, sai Th Star -
DeleteKUALA LUMPUR: The accused confronted the accuser when activist Syarul Ema Rena Abu Sa
mah gatecrashed a press conference to challenge the man who had earlier claimed she paid him to illegally get names for the Citizens Declaration.
Living up to her “Ratu Naga” moniker, Syarul Ema loudly challenged computer programmer Azharuddin Othman to swear an oath about the truth of his allegations.
Azharuddin, 30, who alleged he was offered RM5,000 by an individual called “Ema” on Facebook to provide names from a voter database, only offered a smirk to the challenge.
Syarul Ema said she had nothing to do with the Citizens Declaration and did not even know Azharuddin.
“If you look at my Facebook, I am not involved in the Citizens Declaration,” she said.
Syarul Ema also challenged Azharuddin to show the media his phone to prove that they had contact with each other.
Azharuddin, in an earlier statutory declaration, claimed he sold 1.2 million signatures for RM5,000 but said he only received RM1,000.
Ironically, Azharuddin was at the press conference organised by Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia to deny making a U-turn on his initial claims after a second statutory declaration (SD) purportedly bearing his name surfaced online.
Badrul Hisham, better know as Chegubard, along with Azharuddin left the venue after Syarul Ema continued to bombard them with questions.
Habis. Cabut lari from a press conference he, the bad Cikgu, called.
Salam KD,

zahid kata nak potong ayam, memamg sesuialah atas prinsip makan dedak banyak sangat tuu.
To go fly kite, esok isnin and lusa selasa...
Betul. Kita taknak jatuhkan kerajaan UMNO/BN, kita ha nya hendakkan Najib undur atau di gantikan. Awal, sabelom PRU14.
Delete"...every responsible citizen should not be restrained in their opinions on the government’s affairs and administration.”
ReplyDeleteThe key word is "responsible". Most of us are. We give opinions with good intentions, mindful of the laws.
But often, it's a matter of interpretation of the laws. For example, so many things can be deemed seditious. Anything hurtful to another community, nay, to another individual, can be seditious.
The one with the power to investigate, more so, the power to decide to prosecute has the best position in respect of those matters.
The Police have by and large been judicious. The Attorney General, after the sudden removal of Gani Pattail and replacement by Affandi, has come under heavy criticisms, particularly when he declared that Najib has done nothing wrong regarding the RM2.6 billion (later said to be RM4.2 billion) in his bank accounts.
Well, we "should not be restrained in (our) opinions on the government’s affairs and administration.” Let's keep giving opinions, folks. It's called democracy. It's helping to check the affairs of leaders of the country. In particular, the Prime Minister.
Boleh, tapi jaga jaga jangan langgar undang undang lain -
Delete(The Appeal court) also pointed out that if freedom of speech was abused by spreading false and malicious statements, the person can face criminal proceedings under the Sedition Act, Penal Code, Communications and Multimedia Act and the Printing Presses and Publications Act.
Yang bagus nya, kritik dengan berikan sebab sebab dan justifikasi nya. Tunjukkan takda niat jahat, ha nya nak exercise hak kita bersuara.
DeleteAnnuar Musa Pegawai Penerangan UMNO dah mengarut pulak. Dia kata di masa berkempen PRK,
ReplyDelete"No one should question the right of Rosmah Mansor’s hiring of a private jet as it is her right and duty as the prime minister’s wife."
Apa right and duty dia as PM's wife? Ada tulis dalam buku mana? Apa dia SOP bini PM? Mengarut.
Hah, itu semua kita boleh soal dan beri pendapat.
TEKNIK2 DAN CARA2 MENDAPAT REZEKI MUDAH, DUIT RAYA DAN MENJATUHKAN NAJIB.
ReplyDelete"Di saat akhir berlaku benda-benda yang tidak sepatutnya sehingga sanggup jual undi. Lepas mengundi, ambil gambar dan tuntut duit. Ini yang berlaku di saat-saat akhir. Siapa yang buat seperti itu, saya tidak halalkan dunia akhirat," katanya hari ini.
-Izat Bukhari calon bebas k.kangsar.
Inilah taktik kotor umno.
Kepada pengundi k.kangsar dan sg besar....gunakan langkah2 dan kaedah seperti berikut,
1.pangkah BN
2.ambil gambar (pastikan henfon mode senyap)
3.pangkah lagi sekali calon parti Amanah/calon bebas/calon parti PAS.
4.tambah lagi di kertas undi, tulis kertas undi "umno najib KORUP"
5.keluar dewan mengundi
6.tunjuk gambar pangkah BN
7.buat tuntutan dari umno.(jika suruh bersumpah, sumpah aje ler...)
8.jangan lupa ucapkan terimakasih
9.ingat para pengundi! Lakukan langkah seperti diatas dengan cermat! anda boleh mendapat dua faedah iaitu;
10.tolak dan paksa najib letak jawatan kerana korup, zalim dan menganaiya rakyat.
11.dapat pemberian duit raya dari umno.
SELAMAT MENGUNDI!
P.s
1.Jangan risau,jangan khuatir kerana prinsip najib adalah "cash is king" atau "duit itu raja".
2.niat sebenar kita adalah demi masa depan anak2, agama bangsa dan negara.
3.kepada unit strategi dan gerak saraf parti Amanah dan parti PAS sila ambil perhatian! sila sebarkan di kubu kuat umno!!!!
Lepas buat tu semua, hantarkan bukti rasuah tu ke pejabat SPRM. SPRM akan buat syor kpd Peguam Negara. Pandi ambik tindakan ke tidak belakang kira. Biar bertimbun syor2 SPRM di pejabat Peguam negara. Satu masa nanti, mana tau Pandi tak di situ lagi, Peguam Negara baru akan ambik tindakan.
DeleteTapi kalau Najib pergi dulu dari Pandi, tak kisah lah. Pandi tak lama di jawatan dia bila Najib dah tak PM.
"It is refreshing to see some judges are still upholding the law and liberty in this country."
ReplyDeleteOne recently retired Appeals Court Judge said that his promotion to the Federal Court was blocked by Najib. Wow, that's the way Najib uses to get better chances of court judgments be in his favour?
"Sad that the same can’t be said about their fraternity brother in the AG chambers." What to say of the "brother" who was appointed by Najib immediately after Gani Pattail was suddenly dismissed from office without notice, valid reason or justification?
