I was with Edmund Bon and Amer Hamzah having dinner at Bercham just now. They came down from KL to handle the case of the 3 “frogs” (in order not to insult and undermine a frog, we better put in Cantonese ‘lai ha mou’) by representing 3 Pakatan EXCOs being the intervener in the case of ‘lai ha mou’ against Speaker.
I was informed that there were 15 lawyers in the Judge Chambers, a room which the Bar table can only accommodate 4 lawyers the most. Yet, the Judge refused for the case being heard in open Court. First Question: why can’t it be opened to the Public?
I was further informed that a lawyer handling the matter for the Three ‘lai ha mou’ was very arrogant, even when submitting the case in front of the Judge. One even said outside the Court that “Who is Tommy Thomas (Speaker’s legally appointed lawyer)? What did he get for the 30 over years in practice? Myself 13 years already get a Datukship!” Perhaps, he could be the next Chief Jutice, who knows?!?

The Speaker had requested to represent himself in the matter and rejected the representation of the State Legal Advisor. The Judge rejected it. A person cannot speak for himself and was forced to retain somebody which he had no confident in. How can the Judge decide the lawyer for a person?
How ridiculous it could be?
