Lingam buys judges, Bar Council gets fined. O_O

by Nathaniel Tan

We’ve done it again.

Politicians stir up hate, reporters get arrested.

Cop punch a detainee, detainee gets convicted.

And now? Lawyer fixes judges, Bar Council gets fined for investigating lawyer:

The Bar Council must pay RM70,000 in costs to lawyer VK Lingam in connection with the decision to set up a tribunal to investigate a complaint against him over an alleged vacation to New Zealand with former chief justice Mohd Eusoff Chin in 1994.

The quantum was awarded to Lingam, following the Federal Court’s refusal of the Bar Council’s appeal over the Advocates & Solicitors’ Disciplinary Board’s decision to set up a tribunal after Lingam failed to reply to the Bar’s complaint over the New Zealand holiday trip.

Wah, is Malaysia trying to win some sorta prize for unbelievability? FML.
