Retired judge Datuk Mah Weng Kwai published an impressive list of reforms during Malanjum’s tenure as Chief Justice. Malanjum held that the logs were forest produce from an alienated land. Malanjum held that the purchase was prohibited by state law and was a deception on the land office. In his dissent, Malanjum held that the law cannot impinge on judicial power by vesting the SAC with exclusive power and ousting the High Court on syariah matters. Emeritus Prof Datuk Dr Shad Saleem Faruqi is a holder of the Tunku Abdul Rahman Chair at Universiti Malaya’s law faculty.
