Folks,
Everything we do in this world must have a reason, no matter how trivial it is. And that being said, every cases tried before a judge in an open court must end with a certain decision, supported by relevant facts, acceptable authorities and unquestionable yet fair reasoning and judgment.
It is unacceptable for a judge not to disclose his reason for making a decision, especially if the issues discussed are of grave importance to the nation. The case is plainly simple: a judge who cannot give any reasons for a case tried before him or her does not qualify to be a judge.
I have no respect for judges who cannot provide their reasons (or alasan in Malay) for any case tried before them. Even if the reasoning is wrong, then it can still be corrected upon appealing to the superior court. But, if there are no reason provided, then how on earth will the court of public opinion respond and fathom the act of such judges?
So, please judges: write out your grounds of judgment. We pay you high salaries so that you can dispense justice during your discharging of your duty.
Justice must not only be done but it must manifestly be seen to be done. How then will justice be seen to be done is no grounds of judgment be supplied to the public? How then will the public respect the judges in this country? How then will the public believes in the restoration and have confidence on our judiciary if no grounds of judgment were supplied to further enhance your reason?
Haiyya, Apo Kono Ni Eh Jang?
