Product Description

This book is dedicated to those who believe in, and fight for, the independence of the judiciary. The commentaries contained in this book discuss the key decision of Dato’ Seri Hishamudin Yunus, a retired Malaysian Court of Appeal Judge, who firmly subscribes to the principles of judicial independence. His commitment to judicial independence stems from his appreciation for an effective check and balance mechanism to ensure that the Executive and the Legislature act within their constitutional limits. Justice Hishamudin regards law as an embodiment of justice and his decision gave life to many provisions in relation to fundamental rights in the Federal Constitution of Malaysia. As an impartial judge, he ruled without fear or favor, always being true to his judicial oath to uphold the law and the Federal Constitution – for this, he had to pay a price, where he was not elevated to the highest court of Malaysia, the Federal Court, by then government in 2015 despite being the most senior Court of Appeal Judge. This book discusses the landmark decision of Justice Hishamuddin, who has written more than 700 judgments during his 23 years on the bench.
