KUALA LUMPUR: All parties are urged to uphold the integrity of the judiciary following the High Court's dismissal of Datuk Seri Najib Razak's judicial review application, which was based on his claim of a royal addendum purportedly authorising house arrest for the remainder of his sentence.
Universiti Malaya socio-political analyst Prof Datuk Awang Azman Awang Pawi said that pressuring the judiciary through public sentiment or dismissing rulings as invalid simply because one disagrees with one's political preferences is an unhealthy practice that can undermine the foundations of democracy.
