It had been revealed that the lawyers representing the Perak State Speaker, V. Sivakumar, Chan Kok Keong, Augustine Anthony, Tommy Thomas, and Phillip Koh Tong Ngee will attempt another bid to gain representation from the Ipoh High Court Judicial Commissioner Ridwan Ibrahim when he ruled yesterday that only the State Legal Adviser could represent the Speaker.
It had come to their knowledge that the Judicial Commissioner had erred in law and misinterpreted Article 132 (3) of the Federal Constitution, which clearly expresses that the Speaker is not part of the public services, and therefore he should be allowed to engage private lawyers.
Its time for Judicial Commissioner Ridwan Ibrahim to amend his errors and to follow the rule of law for those who seek fair justice, although it may be late.

It has also come to light that the Judicial Commissioner Ridwan has no locus standi as his term as JC expired on 28 Feb 2009.
His renewal has not been announced as yet but knowing the goons who are trying to clean up their oversight, they will attempt to infer that a renewal can be retroactive, blah, blah.
That surely goes against the principles of law, doesn' it ?
