PETALING JAYA: Datuk Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh's appointment as the new Chief Justice has somewhat eased public concerns over the independence of the judiciary, but it still received mixed reactions, say several PKR MPs.
This was because of Wan Ahmad Farid’s background as a former Umno leader, and he is also seen as more junior than some other judges, they said in a joint statement on Friday (July 18).
