Tribute to a retired judge

TWICE in the last six months, this column has pointed out that due to the relatively early retirement age of 66 (plus six months), our superior courts are being deprived of much sterling talent.

There was one such loss last month when the highly respected Federal Court judge, Tan Sri Zainun Ali (pic), who also has the honour of being on the Advisory Board of the UN Global Judicial Integrity Network, retired from the apex court on reaching the mandatory retirement age.
