Will 'plagiarist judge' Abdul Malik resign honorably?!

Resign, Karpal tells judge accused of plagiarism

Bukit Gelugor MP Karpal Singh has called on Court of Appeal judge Abdul Malik Ishak to tender his resignation following an allegation of plagiarism against him.

Karpal, a senior lawyer said, "This is to save the reputation of the judiciary and country from suffering further embarrassment. The right and honourable thing for him to do is to resign, since Justice Malik did not deny (the allegation) when I asked (in two letters to him) before the motion was brought to Parliament.”

Also, Karpal criticised Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz for shifting the blame to the judiciary, over the absence of action against Justice Malik.

Karpal said he thought Nazri interpreted the law wrongly for, under Article 125 of the federal constitution, the only way to remove a judge was to hold a tribunal - hence, the chief justice could not remove a judge as there was no provision for him to do so.
