Adding salt to injury is the fact that as at the time of writing, the Bar Council has yet to make a stand on the issue. This failure to issue a statement against Sri Ram’s appearance as counsel yesterday and to act swiftly is indeed deafening, and nothing short of dumbfounding, considering that the Bar has, based on its previous undertakings, prided themselves for ostensibly being protectors of justice without fear or favour, and are always on their toes to bark against any such infringements, especially against certain parties. That is not to mention that the Council’s silence on the issue is also a clear non-compliance of the Malaysian Bar’s resolution resolving that the Bar Council shall take all reasonable steps to educate the public on the reasons why it took such stance against retired judges. It is indeed cause for concern as the failure of the Bar shows how selective and biased they are in upholding justice, and raises pertinent questions as to whether the whole Bar must now be reformed. themalaysianinsider/sideviews/article/the-bar-councils-silence-on-sri-ram-is-deafening-lukman-sheriff-alias-faidh#sthash.MPQMhInG.dpuf
