The Chief Justice’s speech: A timely reminder to all Malaysians


“Being a Judge is a tireless, thankless, and a challenging profession. No matter which way you decide, there will always be at least one disgruntled party. You are constantly under watch and scrutiny not only from the litigants that seek justice before you but from the entire public that remunerates you and trust that you will set aside your own persona, your own ideals, and your own personal biases in favour of something much larger that you: the Constitution and the law.”

Speech of the Chief Justice of Malaysia at the Opening of the Legal Year (8 January 2025)
