Description

The tumultuous events which accompanied the dismissal of Tun Salleh Abas, the Lord President of the Malaysian Supreme Court in August 1988, rocked the nation temporarily and sparked bitter controversy even internationally. The Press and pressure groups took up the cudgels eagerly on behalf of Tun Salleh Abas.

What are the real facts? Was the independence of the Judiciary compromised? Was there a collapse of law and order? Did the Government act honourably? What brought about the downfall of Tun Salleh Abas? And what indeed is the proper role of the Judiciary in a developing nation?

This calm and dispassionate analysis by an internationally renowned Queen's Counsel takes the reader step by step through the issues involved in an attempt to find the answers to these questions.

The book includes exclusive interviews with the Prime Minister, the present Lord President, the Attorney-General and the Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat. These frank and hard-hitting interviews shed new light on the events surrounding the controversy.

While the reader may not necessarily agree with the author's views, he cannot but be impressed with the fresh interpretations, powerful arguments and startling conclusions presented here. This itself should make the book compulsory reading.
