Rulers reject PM's choice for Chief Judge of Malaya

Something seems to be brewing as this move is unprecedented (I may be mistaken...those in the legal fraternity might know better). The Conference of Rulers has actually rejected the PM's recommendation for the position of Chief Judge of Malaya, vacated after the retirement of Tan Sri Siti Norma Yaakob last year. It is believe that such a move was linked to the growing concerns that more and more junior judges are being promoted over more senior ones, with no proper transparency on how and why such promotions happen. Read more about it here. Perhaps as pointed out by Raja Petra Kamarudin earlier, maybe things are rumbling among the Rulers.
