Former judge joins G25

Important voice: Hishamudin believes that the majority of Malaysians value integration and tolerance.

PETALING JAYA: One of Malaysia’s highly regarded former judges has joined the G25 group, saying he wants to stand up and be counted in the fight against extremism in the country.

Former Court of Appeal Judge Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Yunus, who retired last month, said he was invited to join the G25 group of eminent Malays and said yes after mulling it over for a few days.
