The group, which call itself G25, said under the current law, the prime minister was not obliged to give a reason if he rejected judges nominated by the Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC).

G25 has no ground to make any calls whatsoever. Some were top appointees of Mahathir who chose to close their eyes of the abuses. Today, it is WAY TOO LATE
to correct anything. Damage done. Irreversible.

Whether its the Tun or MO1, abuses happened during their time in UMNO. Get rid of UMNO and one get rid of abuses .......... successive PMs from UMNO will repeatedly abuse their powers, I bet.

In Pakistan, which is a more conservative Muslim country than Malaysia, judges can SACK Prime Ministers for abuses ........ in Indonesia anti-corruption bodies and the courts can go after the ruling government representatives ........ Malaysia can or not? ........ why are Malaysians so stupid continually electing ruling parties abusing their powers???
