PUTRAJAYA: Judges, in all circumstances, must be faithful to the Federal Constitution and be resolute in upholding the rule of law.

Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tun Mat said there were lessons to be learnt from the events of 1988 which “infamously led to the upheaval of the nation’s judicial system and a shattering blow to the judiciary and the Constitution”.
