The new Chief Justice of Malaysia will be Federal Court Justice Tan Sri Zaki Tun Azmi. 

According to The Star Online , the Conference of Rulers, which met this week, had agreed to Zaki’s appointment as head of the judiciary. Current Chief Justice Tun Abdul Hamid Mohamed, who was given a six-month extension in April, retires Friday.

Zaki, 63, who is currently the President of the Court of Appeal, made history on Sept 5 last year when he was appointed directly to the Federal Court from the legal profession.

That was history because…

There was a petition was submitted to the King on Sept 15 requesting Zaki not be elevated as Chief Justice for his former connection to Umno has been raised numerous times by some groups who worry about his possible impartiality.

Sama ada anda masih ingat atau tidak, pada malam pengistiharan kemenangan PKR pada Pilihanraya Kecil Permatang Pauh dahulu, laungan yang dimainkan ahli UMNO pada malam itu ialah “Jumpa Lagi di Kulim”.

Nampaknya kehendak itu hanyalah impian kerana Mahkamah Tinggi Alor Setar, di sini, hari ini meluluskan permohonan Datuk Abdul Aziz Sheikh Fadzir untuk tidak meneruskan petisyen mencabar kemenangan calon Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) bagi kerusi Parlimen Kulim/Bandar Baharu.

Hakim Datuk Balia Yusof Wahi bersetuju untuk tidak meneruskan perbicaraan setelah pihak pempetisyen yang diwakili oleh peguam, Firoz Hussein Ahmad Jamaluddin menarik balik petisyen berkenaan.

Datuk Abdul Aziz berkata keputusan itu dibuat setelah mengambil kira faktor ketidakstabilan ekonomi dunia dan kenaikan harga barang akibat harga minyak yang tidak menentu, rakyat yang semakin terhimpit dan pelbagai beban lain yang perlu diberi perhatian. Calon PKR, Zulkifli Nordin menewaskan Abdul Aziz pada pilihan raya lalu dengan majoriti 5,583 setelah memperolehi 22,255 undi.

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said on Sunday that Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin is the “best person” to be the Malaysian deputy prime minister.

“There are many contestants for the Umno deputy president’s position, but I think Muhyiddin is the best person to be deputy to (Datuk Seri) Najib (Tun Razak),” the former Malaysian prime minister said.

Dr Mahathir said the International Trade and Industry Minister had been “very vocal” over the leadership issue of late.

While backing Najib for the prime minister’s position, Dr Mahathir said Muhyiddin would bring in a great deal of grassroots experience and knowledge.

“With hard work and co-operation, Najib and Muhyiddin would be able to lead a good government.

“With the global financial turmoil, Malaysia needs strong and decisive leadership,” said Dr Mahathir who is here to speak at a Malaysian youth seminar and at an international multicultural symposium. He returns to Kuala Lumpur on Monday.
