KUALA LUMPUR: The 30% salary increment for judges would contribute to the independence of the judiciary and serves as an important safeguard to help shield judges from undue influence, says Chief Justice Datuk Seri Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh.
He said the increment reflects a clear recognition of the demands placed upon judicial office and a meaningful commitment to strengthening the welfare of the judiciary in support of a resilient, credible, and high-performing administration of justice.
