RM4 j untuk pembuat kacau bukti Sistem Kehakiman Malaysia bebas

Tahniah, keputusan terbaru Mahkamah membuktikan bahawa Sistem Kehakiman Malaysia bebas. Cuma kekalahan yang terlalu kerap di pihak kerajaan membuka satu persoalan baru - adakah pegawai undang-undang yang digaji oleh kerajaan Malaysia tidak cukup kompeten bagi menangani kes-kes yang dibicarakan?

KUALA LUMPUR: Five people, including Batu MP Tian Chua, have been awarded more than RM4.06mil in damages over their unlawful detention under the Internal Security Act in 2001.

High Court judge Lau Bee Lan ruled on Tuesday that the detention of Tian Chua, Selangor PAS information chief Saari Sungib, activists Hishammudin Rais and Badaruddin Ismail and PKR supreme council member Badrulamin Bahron under Section 73 of the Internal Security Act 1960 was unlawful.

The five had sued former Inspector-General of Police 

Tan Sri Norian Maiand two others for unlawful detention under the ISA and for defamation.

(The award covers RM15,000 a day for the total number of days that they had been detained).

Justice Lau also awarded Tian Chua, Hishammudin, Saari and Badrulamin RM60,000 in general damages and RM40,000 in aggravated damages in total based on grounds that the words uttered by Norian during a press conference in April, 2001 in relation to the detention was defamatory.

She ruled that the detention was not based on the safety of the country but more towards political considerations.
