Perbahasan
Rang Undang-Undang Suruhanjaya Pelantikan Kehakiman 2008
oleh YB Wee Choo Keong, Wakil Rakyat Wangsa Maju,

Tan Sri Yang Di Pertua
Saya bangun dengan amanah rakyat untuk mengambil bahagian dalam perbahasan mengenai Rang Undang-undang Suruhanjaya Pelantikan Kehakiman 2008.
Judicial Appointments Commission Bill will be unconstitutional, if passed by Parliament
I am glad that there is at least one other fraternity in the legislative circle that feels the same way as I do with regard to the proposed Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC) Bill.
The Sabah JPs (Justices of the Peace) had recently come out into the open and also declared that the JAC is “unconstitutional” as it conflicts with Article 122 B and 161 E (2)(b) of the Federal Constitution, as reported here.
