It is learned that Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail would conduct the probe immediately.It is hoped that this probe will help restore the people’s confidence in the judiciary.
We need to thank Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi for calling for this probe which had tarnished the good name of the judiciary since 1988 and it is hoped that those involved will be severely punished for having carried out this miscarriage of justice.
Datuk Zaid informed that the Cabinet had agreed for the contents of the report to be released and sold to the public.
