Farewell to a trailblazing judge

Groundbreaker: Malanjum is the first Sabahan to be appointed as Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak and the first from Sabah or Sarawak to be elevated to the post of Chief Justice.

OUR Chief Justice Richard Malanjum will be retiring at the end of this week after 27 years of distinguished service on the Bench.

Of these 27 years, 12 were as Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak and he served nine short but scintillating months as the Chief Justice of our apex court.
