PETALING JAYA: We fully support Malaysian Bar president Karen Cheah in her defence of the judiciary's independence, say eight past Bar presidents.

In a joint statement Tuesday (Aug 30), the eight past presidents, comprising Zainur Zakaria, Mah Weng Kwai, Kuthubul Zaman Bukhari, Yeo Yang Poh, Ambiga Sreenevasan, Lim Chee Wee, Steven Thiru and George Varughese, said that while due process was vital, it was also important to note the facts of a case as presented before the courts.
