COMMENT | Never has one letter created so many perceptions - right and wrong - in the administration of justice in this country.

So many questions remain unanswered after Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Azalina Othman Said confirmed in a letter to Najib Abdul Razak’s lawyers that the MACC had found judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali in breach with the Judges’ Code of Ethics and had a conflict of interest while presiding on the SRC International case.

What comes to mind immediately is the notion that something is brewing in the backrooms of power. Away from the eyes and ears of the public, is the judiciary being undermined?
