It took Tengku Maimun a good 12 years to move from the High Court to the Federal Court, and now a Chief Justice. Now with a half dozen years ahead I sincerely hope YAA Tengku CJ will further raise the standards of our judges and the Judiciary. “I recall that as a young magistrate she wrote a judgment that was commended by then High Court judge Justice Tan Sri Mohd Azmi Kamaruddin (later retired as Federal Court judge). Tengku Maimun, who will turn 60 in July, was made a High Court judge in 2007. She was elevated to the Federal Court last year.
