ANIZA DAMIS
New Straits TimesMinister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz, who is the de-facto law minister, talks to ANIZA DAMIS about the controversial video clip, the judiciary, the Bar Council and bloggers
Q: Is there a crisis in the judiciary? Why is there a perception of there being one?
A: There isn’t a crisis. It’s a false allegation.
The perception has been created by some people. When I go back to my constituency, nobody talks about it.
When people do not go to the courts to settle their disputes, that’s when there’s a crisis. But I don’t see that.
The few people who are unhappy, make a lot of noise. It is reported, people read, and think there is a crisis.
Crisis means it involves the whole country but nobody talks about it. I even asked my fellow members of parliament (MP) but nobody talks about it. So, what crisis are we talking about?
The crisis is in the minds of those who created it.
Q: Some 1,000-2,000 lawyers were involved in the Bar Council walk. Are you saying that that many lawyers have been misled?
A: Only 1,000 went to the ground. There are 13,000 registered members of the Bar.
Q: You don’t think 1,000 is enough?
A: 1,000 of 13,000 — is that a majority? What’s the big deal?
In a democracy, the minority cannot control the majority. The minority does not speak for the majority.
My goodness! Nazri contradicts himself so much throughout this interview and it nearly made me go insane.
Dear Nazri, DO YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT? THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK!
Hahahahahahahahhahhahahahahhahahah hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahah!
