To UMNO, our system is so perfect that it does not need any change henze Zaid sees the need to let go. It does not come as a surprise that Zaki Tun Azmi is viewed by UMNO hardliners as the solution to the judiaciary problem. Never before has a man moved up so fast and decided in our court system that it brings great question about the intent.

Actually, pertaining to your mention of the "NURUL HUDA'S MURDER AND RAPE TRIAL" wherein the Current Court of Appeal President Zaki Azmi in mitigating the death sentence of the accused to 20 years supplanting all lower Courts decision from death penalty to 20 years imprisonment cannot be construed as bias though it may be seen by some quarters as lenient.

In any criminal trial there is a tacit imprimatur called "bargain plea" wherein the Public Prosecutor(s)/Police procured/ ratified a mitigated deal for the one charged for a specific crime to plead guilty esp. murder case in exchange
for a lenient sentence.

I personally perceived the incumbent Court of Appeal President's decision may not be popular in Malaysia (for those who want to see him ended up in the gallow) but of geographical presence - say if the final decision to liberate the accused from death penalty was adjudicated in the US, the decision may be hailed. Note that many States in the US does not legalizes death penalty.

But, the point of Zaki Tun Azmi to preside the helm of Chief Justice is really really disturbing having
shown the records that he was a legal advisor and holds position in UMNO for a long tenure before parachuting and leapfrogging to the post of CJ.

Once again, without being prejudicial to him- Zaki Azmi, kindly remember that Zaid Ibrahim (an UMNO man) was appointed as de facto Law Minister until he rebut and publicly challenged the use of the ISA and honourably resigned.

As of the intention of UMNO placing
a favourable Judge as a top Judicial official, there is no question about it, but of his conduct that must be independent of all eminence grise and being apolitical when assuming the role of a Judge is another matter.
