THOUGH Tan Sri Richard Malanjum retired as Chief Justice of the Federal Court on April 12, the tributes are still pouring in.

On May 17, at a ceremony to welcome our trail-blazing new Chief Justice, Datuk Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, all three Presidents of the Bars of Malaysia, Sabah and Sara­wak expressed their appreciation of the many judicial reforms initiated by her illustrious predecessor during his short but scintillating nine months as head of our apex court.
