KUALA LUMPUR: The courts should not be used for political influence or perceived by the people as “a place for theatrical performance with pre-written scripts,” said Raja Muda of Perak Raja Nazrin Shah.
He urged legal practitioners to defend the sanctity of the courts from being deviated by those who were irresponsible.
Speaking at the 14th convocation ceremony for the Certificate of Legal Practice (CLP) examination at the Putra World Trade Centre, Raja Nazrin reminded law graduates to refrain from activities and behaviour that could tarnish the image of the legal profession.
“Practice according to the highest code of ethics to strengthen the democratic system in line with check and balance mechanisms for the three pillars — the legislative, executive and judiciary,” he said.
He said the basic principles contained in the Constitution must be upheld to ensure justice so that people will continue to have faith in the legal system.
“A fair legal system is the pre-condition to ensure peace in the country.
“It is an effective instrument to distance a citizen from seeking other alternatives and lead to a state of anarchy.
“Rule of law implemented in a transparent manner is an important component to boost the confidence of outsiders, especially foreign investors,’’ he said.Star
I totally agree with Raja Nazrin. Keep it up Tuanku. We need the royalty to give their comments from tim to time.
