VOXPOP 'The judiciary will hopefully start to change for the better now... his shoe can make the difference.'
Imam flings shoes at judges over eviction case
Cherry Bun: Though throwing shoes or objects at judges is wrong, we should understand the frustration and injustice being done to the imam.
The fact that the judges decided not to charge the imam for contempt of court also reflect something is not proper in the court system.
Anyway you look at it, the Malaysian justice system is in serious trouble.
P Dev Anand Pillai: Wow, after the famous shoe-throwing journalist from Iraq, we now have one of our own. One can't blame the poor man, he is being evicted from his house.
Perhaps this is the best treatment for the bench if they don't start being independent. The judiciary will hopefully start to change for the better now, it is a wake-up call from the imam, his shoe can make the difference.
Lim Chong Leong: When procedural rules take precedence over merits and justice of the case, we cannot blame some litigants for being a little annoyed.
When the litigant was not represented by lawyers, he could easily have slipped on the myriad of procedural rules. Even lawyers sometimes get entangled over them.
Some leeway should have been given to the unrepresented litigant, especially where no substantial prejudice is caused to the opposing party that cannot be compensated with costs.
Justice Kini: Everything has a boiling point. The rule of law should be applied to everyone, with no bias.
In general, the public had totally lost respect for courts as well as judges, which warrants the imam to act in such a manner.
Mend the legal system to become like in the good old days where the judges really held true to their oath to do justice in a fair manner with no political masters.

Just like the Pakistan chief justice who dared to make a judgment against the president.
Anonymous_3f94: I wonder how many judges are now waiting forhighway building contracts after retirement.
Ah Hoe: Unbelievable! Not because the imam threw a shoe but because the judges dare not file a contempt charge against an imam for committing what was a sheer blatant unpardonable show of contempt for the court.
No wonder, no one respects the Malaysian judiciary anymore.
NX: Our judges are a joke. The shoe is a perfect gift.
Pronto: A precedent has been set. All future judges will have to wear helmet and protective vest. Very soon, all our court will ban the wearing of shoes. - Malaysiakini
