De Facto vs De Jure Justice

Nazri Aziz, the Minister in the PM Department said he is the De Facto Law Minister and that it is acceptable to the Law Minister that the Chief Justice of Malaya can't write any judgments. Reason? Is it because he can't write or too busy and no time to write?

"Writing judgment is the very basic job of a judge ... Every CJ in the past had provided landmark judgment writings," said Kulasegaran (DAP MO for Ipoh Barat and a lawyer himself).

No such thing, said Nazri. That is 20 years old benchmark, not today, said Nazri. The situation had changed and for Nazri, CJ of Malaya do not need to write judgment. The CJ only need to pass judgment. His job today is to travel overseas and attend to his political master's itinerary.

What has become to our justice system if judges can't write judgment?
