Unless Raus could defend as “unprecedented but constitutional” his re-appointment as Chief Justice in August 2020 for another three years using the unconstitutional backdoor of “additional judge”, how could he justify his present re-appointment?

Yesterday, I asked “Chief Justice” Tan Sri Md Raus Sharif a specific question: “Would it be constitutional and proper for Raus to continue to be appointed as ‘additional judge’ in August 2020 to extend his tenure as Chief Justice for another three years?”

Raus has yet to answer. I await his answer. But I want to ask him a further question:

“Unless Raus could defend as ‘unprecedented but constitutional’ his re-appointment as Chief Justice in August 2020 for another three years using the unconstitutional backdoor of ‘additional judge’, how could he justify his present re-appointment?”

If Raus could defend his re-appointment as Chief Justice in August 2020 for another three years using the unconstitutional backdoor of “additional judge” under Article 122(1A) of the Constitution, a further question to Raus would be in order - whether he is true to his solemn oath of office and allegiance to “bear true faith and allegiance to Malaysia, and will preserve, protect and defend the Constitution”?

The ball is in Raus’ court.
