Chief Justice retirement: Malaysian Bar calls for immediate announcement of replacement

PETALING JAYA: With Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat's retirement due on Tuesday (July 1), the unknown status of her successor reflects a failure in institutional responsibility, says Malaysian Bar president Mohamad Ezri Abdul Wahab.

He said the position of the Chief Justice is not merely symbolic but central to the integrity, independence and functioning of the entire judicial system.
