Hindraf disgusted at former judge’s racism

P Waythamoorthy says judiciary selection must be overhauled.
P Waythamoorthy_Mohd Noor AbdullahGEORGE TOWN: Hindraf national chairman P Waythamoorthy said he was disgusted with a statement made by former Court of Appeal judge, Mohd Noor Abdullah, over the weekend.
He said Mohd Noor’s remarks on the so-called non-existent “social contract” clearly showed the ex-judge’s racist and biased views against non-Malays and non-Muslims in the country.
Waythamoorthy was adamant that the term “social contract” was created by ultra Malays to divide communities and perpetuate contemptuous feelings among the ethnic groups.
“Hindraf is disgusted that these kinds of lies and perpetuation of racial ill feelings come from a former top judge of the country.
“The ex-judge promotes the Malay supremacist agenda. He has clearly been a racist in the closet whilst serving on the bench,” Waythamoorthy said.
“The government should overhaul the selection process to ensure that judges are not racist and not bias, have untainted integrity and are fully committed to protect the rule of law and parliamentary democracy,” he told FMT here today.
Waythamoorthy, who had perused thousands of documents on Malaya independence, insisted that a social contract was never mentioned in the pre-independence talks.
“Nothing was ever stated on a social contract in the pre-independence talks between then Malayan leaders and the British colonial government.
“When the independence talks took place, all three communities were given equal representation and footing.
He said it was a total lie that Indians and Chinese were given citizenship in return to agreeing to Malay privileges, adding, “A social contract does not exist at all.”
“It’s just their imagination to justify racist policies,” said Waythamoorthy.
He said it was unimaginable how Mohd Noor had meted out justice to non-Muslims and non-Malays when his knowledge of the constitution and its principles was so shallow and the result of a racist mindset.
He rubbished Mohd Noor’s claim of the “reasonable rights” of non-Malays and said that the ex-judge was misleading the people on the historical development of the Constitution.
“There is only one right and that is the absolute right of every citizen without racial or religious discrimination as clearly stipulated in Article 8 of the Constitution,” Waythamoorthy said.
He said many Malaysians now questioned where and how Mohd Noor obtained his law degree and whether there was indeed a grave mistake committed by the selection committee in appointing him as a judge.
“It clearly shows there is an urgent need to overhaul the selection process of judges to avoid and weed out individuals with racist mindsets and tendencies,” he said.
“It’s time for more non-Malays, non-Muslims and Borneo natives to be appointed as judges,” he said.
