(FMT) – DAP’s Ramkarpal Singh has called for the government to extend the tenures of Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat and two other senior judges, saying there is no compelling reason not to do so. “There seems to be no compelling reason not to extend their tenures. “It is imperative to allow for a continuation of the status quo of the judiciary’s current administration, to ensure a smooth transition when the new batch of Federal Court judges takes over,” he said in a statement. “It is difficult to comprehend why extending the judges’ tenures does not align with such an agenda, particularly when many Federal Court judges have retired or are due to retire,” he said. Under Article 125(1) of the Federal Constitution, Federal Court judges may serve until the age of 66, with the possibility of a six-month extension, subject to the approval of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
