Zainun: Judiciary safe in Maimun’s hands

PETALING JAYA: The appointment of Datuk Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat as the new Chief Justice means a lot in acknowledging competency of judges without care for their gender, says Tan Sri Zainun Ali (pic).

“Even if the proportion of women judges had increased exponentially in the Malaysian judiciary in the last 10 years, the top ranks seemed to elude them – that is, until this hugely momentous appointment of Her Ladyship Tengku Maimun as Malaysia’s first woman Chief Justice,” said the recently retired Federal Court judge.
