Najib Regrets Opposition's Claims Against Court Decision

PETALING JAYA, May 24 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has expressed regret over the attitude of the Opposition accusing the Barisan Nasional (BN) government of influencing the Court of Appeal's decision in determining the rightful Perak menteri besar.
Najib stressed that the court's decision was free of any interference and that the Court of Appeal's verdict was also hailed by international legal experts, including Queen's Counsel Lord Anthony Lester.
"If a Queen's Counsel like Lord Lester feels that we are on the right track with regards to the Court of Appeal's decision, then we should not misinterpret or harbour negative views against the judiciary," he told reporters after opening the national-level Unity Week in Puchong near here today.
He said that the Opposition should not adopt the attitude that the court was right and free only when it made a decision in their favour.
"But when the court makes a decision which is similar to the government's view, they (opposition) accuse it of being unfair and following government's order," he said.
A three-man bench of the Court of Appeal on Friday declared Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir as the rightful menteri besar of Perak, overturning the High Court order on May 11 in declaring Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin as the legitimate menteri besar.
Najib said: "We hope there will be finality to the process and I was told that most probably they will be filing an appeal to the Federal Court. It is their right to do so."
The prime minister hoped that there would be an end to the situation in Perak so that the government could concentrate on its duties to serve the people.

tunku : it is their nature , if the decision favours them, then it's a good judgement,free court etc but of it is not favouring them, then the judge is bias,the court is bought by the government etc.such low class mentality, what to say more.they can make a sodomizer as their head, what to expect from them.
