Zambry and its junta vs Speaker Dewan...

The Federal Court will start their Hearing on Zambry & 6 Others against Speaker. This case is very important in the sense that Barisan Nasional may finally opt for dissolution of the Dewan if the Federal Court rules they have no jurisdiction to interfere into the Speaker’s decision.

In normal circumstances and practice, the Court is reluctant to interfere into the Legislative’s decision as in a lot of Judgments the Court did indicate that even though they are sympathy on one particular party, their hands are tight as they are in no position to change the position of law as set down by the legislative body. The Judiciary merely interprets the law and they are not the law-maker.

The law is clear and the division of power in a democracy system ought to be upheld. It will set a very bad precedent in the event the Judiciary chooses to interfere into the Legislative’s power.
