Veteran opposition legislator Karpal Singh has lodged a police report against Chief Justice Zaki Azmi for allegedly admitting to corrupt practices while in private practice as a lawyer in 1987. It quoted the Nov 8 New Straits Times article which quoted Zaki at a convention in Kuching on Nov 7. Zaki was allegedly to have said the following: "It took me six months to be nice, to bribe each and every individual..." In his report, Karpal also said that Zaki, in his clarification on the matter published by NST on Nov 9, did not specifically deny the earlier report. Zaki said, "Your reporter must have interpreted what I said, which is that during that period there was corruption in order to get things done at the court registry. I have never in my life bribed or received any bribe." (Malaysiakini: Karpal lodges report against CJ)
Firstly, I'm sure as CJ, Zaki must have prepared his speech way in advance and read from it. Perhaps, the 'bribing' part came out spontaneously during delivery. Whatever it is, I trust he is a man of integrity. Thus, he must have told the truth. Unfortunately, he got himself into a fix. Hehe...Who got the blame after that? The NST reporter!
