Say goodbye to religious bigotry and racism

MOST people in Peninsular Malaysia may not have heard of Tan Sri Richard Malanjum, the Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak who is now Chief Justice of Malaysia. His appointment to the highest judicial post in the country is a breath of fresh air in our new Malaysia and a good sign that the Pakatan Harapan coalition is fulfilling its promises for change.

Since the birth of Malaysia in 1963, no one from Sabah and Sarawak has been given the post of Chief Justice. Since Pakatan came into power, we have broken a number of records, including having the world’s oldest prime minister, the first woman deputy prime minister and now the first Chief Justice from Sabah.
