Talk:Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Lingam Video Clip

This article as a sub-page

I've been meaning to create an article specifically for the video tape controvesy in entirely, mainly because there were also other side effects as a result of the leak, mainly the thousand-strong lawyer's march in Putrajaya back in September. By the looks of it, it seems appropriate that this article can serve as a sub-page to an article series. - Two hundred percent (talk) 08:03, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of copyrighted material

I have deleted two portions of this article as they have been lifted word-for-word, or are too closely paraphrased, from the sources cited. The portions were undoubtedly added in good faith, but their additions are contrary to copyright policy. The portions are as follows:

Extended content

The article says: Loh remembered that Lingam had mentioned about how he had manipulated cases to his advantage by using certain lawyers against certain judges to make sure the judgments would be in his favour. Loh said he was so disturbed that something was terribly wrong with the judiciary that he decided there was no more freedom in the courts and chose not to take his Bar exams. The [source http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/5/14/nation/21240628&sec=nation] says: However, from memory, Loh, 34, said he remembered that Lingam had mentioned about how he had manipulated cases to his advantage by using certain lawyers against certain judges to make sure the judgments would be in his favour. And later says: After what he heard that night, Loh said he was so disturbed that he decided there was no more freedom in the courts and chose not to take his Bar exams. The article says: The Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Lingam video clip has found that it was former Chief Justice Tun Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim who was talking to prominent lawyer Datuk V.K. Lingam on the telephone. Sources said the five-man panel also found that the video clip was authentic and that the conversation was true in substance. They said the commission also found that it was lawyer Loh Mui Fah who Lingam was speaking to after his telephone conversation with Fairuz. Commission chairman Tan Sri Haidar Mohamed Noor presented a two-volume report on the findings to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin at the Istana Negara here yesterday.
