Long tradition of a harmonious relationship

I REFER to the timely comment by Datuk Seri Wong Chun Wai in his On The Beat column on Jan 22 (“Kicking up a fuss over a dance”, Focus, Sunday Star; online at bit.ly/star_judiciary) and to the excellent letter by Anas Zubedy (“Why focus on dance parties?”, Views, The Star, Jan 21; online at bit.ly/star_anas).

They both referred to the “brouhaha”, as Wong put it, over the annual gala dinner of the Law Society of Sabah that elicited adverse comments from Umno leaders Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri and Datuk Asraf Wajadi Dusuki. The two objected to the fact that the Chief Justice (CJ), Attorney-General (AG), de facto Law Minister, Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan and Siti Kasim – the latter two are lawyers too, incidentally – danced the twist together at the event.
