Chief Justice
I learned this from Rocky’s Bru yesterday.
Top contender. I’ve been told that Zaki Azmi, the Umno lawyer who was controversially made Federal Court early last month, is Choice No 1 for the Chief of Justice post.
If that happens, the crisis faced by the Judiciary is expected to deepen. Zaki’s ascension to the Federal Court defied convention as no one had ever been promoted to the Federal Court without first serving the High Court and the Appeal Court [Umno lawyer promoted to Federal Court, Sept 5].
Then, I read this in Sin Chew daily (Chinese daily) this morning
聯邦法院首席大法官人選 查基料受推薦
update:2007-11-01 09:00:27 MYT（布城訊）《星洲日報》探悉，首席大法官敦阿末法魯斯相信已不獲延長服務；據說，受推薦填補此職者是最近才受委的聯邦法院法官丹斯里阿末查基。
現年62歲的阿末查基也是前巫統紀律局副主席，他是第一位從律師身份直接受委為聯邦法院法官的人士。 另一方面，阿末法魯斯早已申請為期3天的年假，因此，他沒有如一般期待，讓媒體捕捉他最後一天在司法宮打卡的鏡頭。 於11月1日達66歲法官強制退休年齡的阿末法魯斯早在今年6月已申請延長服務6個月，但遲遲都未獲批准。 根据聯邦憲法第125（1）條文（2）至（5），聯邦法院法官只能擔任到66歲為止，除非獲得國家元首批准延長，但不超過6個月的任期。 丹斯里阿末查基曾在亞羅士打蘇丹阿都哈密學院、怡保安德森學校和新山英國學院就讀，他於1969年加入英國律師公會，並於1983年12月加入大馬律師公會。
Do you feel worries IF that happens? Yes, I’m.
Maybe you would like to know who is Zaki? You can read it more in Malaysiakini
