Whoever this Philip George, I nevertheless agree with his comments. In another article where Tommy Tomato Thomas went against the advice of his chamber staff members not to go ahead with the prosecution as they hv a weak case. The AGC has lost its independence and is just a tool of the man in power. A case of when might is right.
It matters not whether Phillip George is Phillip George British lawyer, CheDet Dr. Mahathir, Arthur Blair George Orwell, Clemens Mark Twain, Mary Ann Evans George Eliot. Whats in a name after all? As Grouch Marx said "never mind the material, just feel the width"- a metaphor worth taking into consideration when criticizing or attempting to ridicule a writer hiding behind his anonymity.
People tend to hide behind the veil of anonymity for a number of reasons the most common of these, to avoid character assassination, insults and distractions by cowards and ignoramuses that the has become the hall mark of the Malaysian legal fraternity..
Why worry about whether he is really a UK lawyer or not, or even on the rolls. There are hundreds if not thousands of lawyers turned writers in the commonwealth who prefer not to be on the rolls in order that they may then write freely and fairly without the constraints placed on their freedoms of expression by the rules of their profession.
It has nothing to do with anything. What matters in Phillip George's piece is the content and substance of what he has to say. And he articulates well the embarrasment that is the Malaysian Bar and the Malaysian courts today.
What Philip has written here is fundamentally what the problem is with Malaysia's legal system in a nutshell. The way they conducted (or misconducted more appropriately) the trial of DS Najib his family and members of his government.
Phillips piece demonstrates how the misconduct and the farcical trial of DS Najib has impacted and tainted the reputation of the legal profession and judiciary of Malaysia. It is a permenant blot on their justice system and those elements that underwrite it. The Malaysian Bar and the office of the Attorney General.
The trial of DS Najib and the 1MDB matter blows back on anyone connected to that hallowed profession who hasn't had the courage to stand up to the tyranny of incompetence and corruption which has become embeded in the law, the legal profession and the bench of Malaysia.
