Our MPs must go to the depths of their souls and examine their conscience before they descend on Parliament House tomorrow where they would, in all likelihood but for no good reason, vote to replace the Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat; an unprecedented move in the history of our nation.
Central to the concept of the “rule of law” is that the powerful should exercise their powers reasonably, fairly and for the purpose for which the power was conferred. It prevents the exercise of power arbitrarily and unreasonably.On the other hand, “rule by law” is where the law is an instrument of the powerful to be used for its own ends. It has little regard for fairness in the application of the law or its participation in the decision-making processes.
That being said, the issue before the House tomorrow would be whether it would be fair and just to remove an honest, impartial and non-partisan Speaker at the whims of the powerful, without any concern for the essential elements of fairness and justice and against common law convention.
