Judge will decide ties you wear

Midway through the proceedings, a case at the magistrate court in Johor Bahru had to be postponed and the magistrate retired to her chambers. At this point, the interpreter instructed the lawyer to remove his red necktie as the magistrate did not like red ties - she did not like the color.

When the lawyer refused to do so, he was called into the magistrate’s chambers. The magistrate repeated her instruction to the lawyer and said that she did not mind any other tie except those that were red.

The lawyer replied that he would would not wear a red tie the next time he appeared in her court. The magistrate was still not satisfied and said:

"It is my instruction to you now to change your tie, if not you can't appear in front of me in open court later".

The magistrate also told him to borrow a tie. When the lawyer refused, the magistrate repeated the order and gave him until 2.30pm to comply.

She also warned the lawyer that the case would proceed without him if he refused to comply.

What has happen to our courts? What had happen to the Judicial System? Some says there are kangaroo courts; but we can't call this kangaroo... it's more like monyet...

Does a judge have a special rights to chose what color of tie lawyers wear? What happen if we have judges who prefer sarongs? What about judges who prefer sexiness and a few cup of beers, a round of Gasing spinning and a game of chess with the lawyers, all before a hearing? The essence is no more about dispensing justice; it's more about dispensing morality, individual moral ideology and belief system.

Did they graduate from MU or UiTM?

The lawyer should had demanded that the magistrate remove and change her red panties because he could not stand them

during the proceeding, the magistrate was `leaking' that's why the red tie offended her!

Lucia,

A judge is a Queen in a Court. of course actions can be taken against a judge for misconduct but the power to take such action is the CJ.
