First and foremost, I am not a an expert of such topics. However, I’ve been reading aplenty of the recent Court of Appeal ruling that favours the BN’s Menteri Besar Zambry. Such rulings and judgment will not only shake the very basis of the spirit of Constitution for violating its Doctrine Separation of Powers, but also the very basis of Constitutional Monarchy. Indirectly, the Courts of Appeal judgment will be a future reference for other constitutional crisis in years to come. It means that the Courts have set a dangerous precedent by granting the Sultan and the Rulers an absolute power to dismiss and remove a Menteri Besar or Chief Minister without having to go through proper procedures in accordance to the Federal and State Constitution, in which a vote of no confidence have to be tabled.
And yes, this comes to show that the independence of a judiciary remains questioned. The favourable double treatment of the BN MB for accelarating the stay order has been given mere hours but weeks for the PR MB to overturn to stay order. It is the public perception that matters most. Like what PRK always said, the judiciary and the police are one of the BN component parties, and this was further proven.
